Where "every now and then" in my experience was at least once per day (I
was working from home, so I noticed these things). I gather they also
deny that there are any problems.
Actually, I'm inclined to suspect that the problem runs deeper than just
their "transparent" proxy. We were running our own dns (not peering off
theirs) and every now and then (still being at least once/day :-)) our
dns would return a no-find on definitely valid hostnames. Very, very
frustrating in the middle of a web-browse. Killed my irc sessions fairly
regularly too.

There may be a trend there too.
