Yeah… though I don’t worry at all about Google in terms of up-time/reliability or them fucking with dns. But it is a bit scary that they “could” if everybody transitions to them. You’re totally right though; ISP’s have been fucking it up for sometime, so a little competition in the market should drive them to do better.

I guess nothing, other than ISP’s tend to be too stupid/lazy/whatever to really do anything with that data, I wouldn’t count on Google being that way.
