    This affected me at at inconvenient time. I don’t really have a good choice when it comes to fibre internet though so I can’t necessarily see any options other then to accept it and move on.

      You could just update your DNS settings to use CloudFlare or Google (or any other provider). If you set it up in your router, it’ll use them for all your devices.
