Freki42, if they pay NTT as their host then yes they would have a hold over them to get it fixed and they have done this before as NTT is the host for their servers, not just some random intermediate IP host. Your thought process as far as it stands to reason that you would be affected by it would not be exactly accurate. The reason for this is your routing table for Verizon is more than likely routed differently from those that are experiencing the issue. Not every internet provider routes the same way through to that server so that would probably be why you are seeing a different affect from others.
