   You'll know your #ISP is doing something with your connection if you encounter problems while playing an #MMOG but works smoothly if you're behind a #VPN .

     @youronlyone @jikodesu I chalk these thinks up to incompetence. Sometimes you don’t even need to use a vpn. You can just change to a different dns server. But Skycable is a bit annoying at times.

     @my_actual_brain There are also ISPs where they force their DNS. They just capture everything so you still end up using their DNS. I'm not sure if they're still doing this.

     There was also one time, if you changed your DNS, nothing works, had to call an old ISP to complain about it (this was sometime between 2000 to 2010). You had to call them to enable your account to use other DNS. LOL.

     @youronlyone I'm curious. Which PH ISP is doing this?
