And all seems to work so I'm still with the dodgy DNS servers theory. Block phorm should not block internet access completely.
I would be more than happy to put it down to something innocent like poor NTL DNS servers, but I can't escape the fact that several dozen times I have switched from blocking/unblocking phorm.com and each time it resulted in no connectivity (block) and connectivity (unblocked) when using the default NTL DNS servers. That can't be a coincidence, can it?
