I?m actually inside comcast ? no browser jacking ? pure unhindered network. From: John Hall Date: Wednesday, May 4, 2016 at 5:51 PM To: Joe Polcari Cc: Kent Borg, "discuss at blu.org" Subject: Re: [Discuss] My Bank's Web Site is Behaving Oddly Updates can take quite a long time to be disseminated, and also some DNS servers are just flat out terrible. Are you using your ISP's DNS ? Is it comcast? A few years ago I ditched comcast DNS for Google public DNS servers. I configure this in the router. IP v4 addresses are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. The IP v6 addresses are at https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using#important_before_you_start This made a very noticeable difference in latency Also at that point comcast was doing wacky browser jacking that really infuriated me. I believe this was on domains that were not found. I don't imagine they are still doing the browser jacking ... at least I hope not! If they are though it is a clear sign you are using their dns. I believe I could not get a google search .. instead it would return a comcast search if the domain was not found.
