Three mobile broadband DNS

    Hi,

    I'm using Three mobile broadband with the supplied Huawei router. For my work, as a web developer, I've been transferring a couple of sites to a new web host. The last part of the process involved redirecting the domains to the new host - now, twelve hours after the transfer, the DNS from Three still points at the old sites. Immediately after transferring the sites, I checked the progress using a DNS propagation check tool - according to that, most areas (globally) updated to the new address almost immediately. I've been able to access the transferred site through a VPN, but it's a pain, because websites/services question why I'm accessing from a different IP/location.

    Does anyone know how often Three update/flush their DNS?

    Thanks

    Just login to the router and change the DNS to a different one other than Three. Good examples would be Cloudflare DNS: 1.1.1.1 or Google: 8.8.8.8

    (If you don't want to change it on your router you can manually use these on just your computer - do a quick Google search on how to set DNS on whatever operating system you are using.)
