Most people use their ISP provided DNS should be the null hypothesis / status quo. I wouldnt expect someone to prove that claim. I would expect someone to prove the claim "most people change their DNS from the ISP default to google."
- pbhjpbhj 7y agoI thought they were questioning whether ISPs in general routinely hijack DNS. I've not heard of this happening in the UK, but haven't scoped around looking for it.
- basch 7y agoIt was normal in the US for an ISP to return a "helpful" page when you entered a nonexistant domain. It sort of looked like a search results page. In reality it usually turned into a page of ads. Each ISP may have been different with the volume of actual search results they returned on the page.
- jfk13 7y agoI've seen things like that in the UK, too; it's certainly not a US-only practice.
