When ISP's Innovate- a little experiment

When ISPs Innovate wrote:

In the last couple of years, ISPs “innovated” by changing how they handle users who type in a URL that doesn’t exist. Under net protocols, the ISP’s DNS servers are supposed to report an error code to your browser in those circumstances. Instead, ISPs are now serving up pages with ads, sometimes in ways that introduce huge security risks.

As a reaction, Google set up a fast, ad-free DNS service. And if you want to see what real innovation in DNS looks like, take a look at OpenDNS, which has built fraud protection, security measures and optional web content filtering into its robust DNS service.


Try a few slips of the finger when typing "Google.com" Goodle.com gives you an intersting example.

Edit- DO NOT TRY THIS!- POSSIBLE VIRUS Still checking. - Getiton.com was the site

Is Verizon redirecting to this site or is Google?
