Some tests from my home Comcast connection tonight showed less than
desirable results from their resolvers.
The first thing I did was to double check that the bookmarks I use when
visiting my banking sites all begin https. I was happy to see I had the
sense to create them some time ago, by hand, with the https.
Even when I receive a notice of a new statement or pending payment on
something in the email, and I KNOW it's valid, I'm still visiting it
from the bookmark.
