- lgierth 7y agoYeah I didn't think about the monetization angle when I typed that comment, you're right. Some even redirect NXDOMAIN results to a "search" page full of ads (T-Online in Germany did this until recently).
- kibwen 7y agoLast I checked Verizon/Comcast does this regularly in the US, and I remember it being a persistent annoyance. As someone who's geographically blessed enough these days to have the option of an alternative ISP, god bless RCN.
- judge2020 7y agoUnless it changed within the past year, Spectrum redirects NXDOMAIN to yahoo search results.
