Ireland wide DNS resolution issues

Irish Steve · 2015-03-03 10:47:46

Folks, Not sure if here or Net & comms is the best place, but I guess that as it's primarily a broadband issue, I'll start here, and we'll see where this goes. I do computer support work for a number of people, and in recent weeks, I've been seeing an issue with broadband usage that goes across pretty much all Irish ISP's,…

Nick,

Understood, the reason I mentioned changing back as an option was that the thread in Mozilla support commented that in some cases, ISP's DNS would be providing local information in some cases that was not served by companies like Google, so if changes to use Google DNS were made to avoid the problems with this issue, it could result in some content not being served correctly.

I have to admit that some of the discussion went over my head a little, but the comment about reverting did stick, so I thought it worth a mention here.

The patch has clearly been releases pretty rapidly, when I was last on line with the Mozilla site, they were not sure how quickly it would be released, they were sugggesting it might be some days before it came out, my version has just shown me and downloaded it, which is sooner than I was expecting based on the comments made.

Thanks for clarifying the issue, and for jumping in to the thread earlier, it's helped to clear up some of the issues, probably for a number of people.

Best regards

Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁
