That's the thing. I already have. I didn't mention it back then but I did, right after I made that post. They dismissed me and that said probably it was a problem on the root server's end. (as weird as that sounds)
That's why I mentioned Tor this time around, because I was a bit familiar with it, and hoped it could bypass my ISP in this regard, since I know for sure they aren't going to cooperate.
Deja vu, but I keep going this time.
