Comcast also did this to me. Not one of the several tech support people I talked with seemed to be aware of Comcast's non-hijacking DNS servers at 75.75.75.75 and 75.75.76.76.

Fortunately they haven't done this for 2 years. They killed it when they flipped on DNSSEC because the practice of NXDOMAIN hijacking is incompatible:

Now no customers from Comcast suffer this.

... JavaScript and HTML injection when you reach a cap limit in a throttled market or when you get a cease and desist for pirating, however, is another matter.
