    ISP level 404 redirects (Road Runner)

    Anyone else seeing this from Road Runner?

    I just started seeing this yesterday..

    If I type in a bad url like a mistype of something that doesn't have a DNS.. I'm getting Road Runner 404 pages.

    example..

    Anyone know when this shit started? I know google started steal 404 traffic on sites that have no 404 redirect, but this is the first time I've seen it at ISP level.

      a lot of ISPs are doing it these days. Charter does it too. http://www11.charter.net/search?qo=g...erGprw3pQ00JcX

          Yes, I actually saw that at home last weekend, but didn't think much of it. Interesting though... Not good imo.

              This isn't new. Just set your DNS servers to AT&T:
              4.2.2.4
              4.2.2.2

              It'll be slower, but you won't have to deal with it.

                  Yea I mean I guess if there is no DNS record for a mistyped domain.. it's no big deal, but I wonder how long b4 they start trying to redirect other forms of 404 traffic.

                      You don't really understand how this internet thing works, do you?
