AFAICT, Network Solutions' business model is to take advantage of 
corporate ignorance and pretend that they still have a monopoly on 
domain registrations. Most corporations just pay their bill without 
questioning it, probably because it isn't worth their time to do 
research. That kind of attitude pervades through an organization, and 
I'd bet it causes slow updates as well.

The one time I had to deal with them to renew a company domain, I called 
them up and said that I wanted it released to Godaddy. They immediately 
offered to match Godaddy's renewal price.

Needless to say, I avoid Network Solutions like the plague.
