Reliability issue ?

Switched to comodo the other day.

Things I like the sound of

More secure approach to DNS
No TTL

Things I don’t like

The No TTL wasn’t observed in real life. I had a DNS change made on the internet. Some comodo servers picked it up in an instance, others took at least an hour.

Comodo subsittute non existing DNS with spam a like site

Poor performance on name resolution. I get somewhere around 5% DNS failure lookup rate. In short I’ve seen more DNS related error last 2 days than the last 10 years of internet use… sorry comodo. This isn’t good

I’m sorry you’re having a connectivity issue. We recently resolved a peering issue we had with our likely closest site to where you are. Can you confirm if your connectivity situation is still the same?

Also a traceroute to our nameservers will help deduce if this path was the problem or if something else might be at fault here.
