| Rogers hijacks DNS
Rogers has begun hijacking DNS queries and redirecting them back to their own servers. Seems like they decided they wanted to break the DNS system to try to make an extra buck:

Apparently they don't remember how much trouble previous ISPs who tried this crap got into. DNS wildcards are a big issue; they violate the DNS standards, break all sorts of applications, and are generally evil.
DigitalHome claims this is a violation of net neutrality; I just claim that it's a dangerously broken DNS service that needs to be immediately rectified. |

That's pretty shady. Thankfully you can always use alternative name servers. Not that it really helps the home user, but at least you're not stuck using theirs.
