Most ISPs are slimey and anti-consumer. Rogers is no exception, but I don't know if I'd go so far as to say this is a new low. This is hardly worth complaining

Most ISPs are slimey and anti-consumer. Rogers is no exception, but I don't know if I'd go so far as to say this is a new low. This is hardly worth complaining about compared to throttling, traffic shaping and rewriting pages. All they're doing is redirecting failed DNS lookups to search pages with ads. I'm pretty sure quite a few ISPs do this and typical users may even like it. It would be nice if you could opt out, but this is easily solved by OpenDNS or some other service. I think it's mostly power users who would object to this practice and they're more than capable of switching to different DNS servers. This guy could have switched to OpenDNS in less time than it took to write that blog.
