MediaOne dns problems

[rhofland at fastdial.net (Randall Hofland)]

    I begin to wonder whether they are unable or just unwilling to update their
DNS immediately upon IP address renumbering. Either way,  are they not in fact as
well in substance harrassing their clients because of their use of their service?
Why should any client with a full time service be repeatedly 'renumbered"? And 12
hours is more than a little unacceptable for their DNS to relocate your services
for the net.
