Been unable to connect to yahoo for the past few days

On Saturday my ISP seemed to be having some kind of problem from abut 10.30AM Saturday to Sunday I couldn't get to the internet and if could it would be really slow. My 7 reported being unable to connect to the DNS server even if I switched DNS server.

Today most of the problem whatever it was seems to be taken care of. Youtube streaming is back smooth but still I'm unable to access yahoo.

I could get to yahoo through proxy though and it's my fear that my ISP may have switched DNS server to that of a government running proxy server like that in UAE(if I'm not mistaken). The point being to filter out internet content

. Sure they have been blocking out porn sites since months ago but I'm worried that they may start using proxy to filter out internet content.

I'm hoping they just crashed their DNS server.
