How long does it take to propergate DNS these days?

I've had a site on server A in the past and moved it to server B, changing the DNS from ns1.serverA.com to ms1.serverB.com like normal and it all happened almost instantly.

Last night (About 12 hours ago) I changed the dns back to server A in namecheap. As of this morning it says that the dns has been changed within namecheap, and doing a whois on the domain also shows the nameservers as having been changed - However it also shows the IP as being the IP of the old server company, not the one I changed it too...

Consequently when I go to my domain I get

Quote:
The server at MY-SITE.com can't be found, because the DNS lookup failed. DNS is the network service that translates a website's name to its Internet address. This error is most often caused by having no connection to the Internet or a misconfigured network. It can also be caused by an unresponsive DNS server or a firewall preventing Google Chrome from accessing the network.
Question is, should I just be patient, or should I be contacting someone? If so, who?

1) The people whos server I have just pointed it to, to say its not working?
2) The older server people to tell them to release the IP?
or
3) Namecheap - They are handling the DNS ?

All ideas / comments welcome - Thanks
