Try 'ipconfig /flushdns' if you're on windows.
Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache .. but, alas, no change in connectivity- BUT it did fix the VPN connection

Incidentally, and maybe it is related? I also cannot connect to my VPNs servers to establish that connection either..

What country are you from? How long have you had these issues for

Verizon is one of the largest ISPs in the US - there is no way that only I am being 'throttled' for mining.. (So the answer is no - for now.)

I'm not saying this to be flip but have you called your service provider?

Suddenly every PC and wireless connect to my Verizon FiOS router is unable to resolve DNS (even when changing DNS to Google 8.8.8.
for some popular bitcoin-related websites including some mining pools (btcguild, suprnova.cc, ecoining.com, mining.wtf, multipool.us, suchpool.pw, bitmember.com, coin-pool.org, hashtot.com etc.)
I also cannot resolve Cryptsy and other exchanges as well as coinwarz and other mining-related websites
ALSO, my cgminer cannot resolve the stratum servers with those IPs.
When I take my phone or tablet off of my wifi and use LTE, I can resolve all sites just fine.
I tried soft reboot of my FiOS router and no change.
Anybody ever hear of such a thing? Is this a malware infection of my router? If so how do I clean it?
Yikes!
