Not sure if that is the correct technical term, but you know what I mean... I’ve not run tests in Britain, but over here at least, OpenDNS have proven more reliable and quicker for lookups.

OpenDNS works well enough for me :) Did you try to use a different set of DNS?

The ten days I was in Astana this spring, I encountered similar problems with nudnik.ru, coprophagous.ru and several other blogs. The tech support guy told me with a thick southern accent that I “haven’t unlocked access to all the sites”. Probable he thought that Megaline is some kind of fricking MMORPG. Luckily I didn’t need to do anything with those sites except for reading, so hidemyass.com saved my, er, bacon. Then I returned to Moscow and forgot about this as if it was a nightmare. Crazy, crazy, crazy.
