I doubt that Sympatico and lethe problems are related.  FWIW, I haven't 
noticed problems with Sympatico recently.

Speaking of wasted bandwidth.  Here's an interesting read:

    http://clue.denver.co.us/dns_threats-talk/threats_to_dns.pdf

They analysed all dns queries to one of the root servers (f.root-servers.net) 
over a 24 hour period.  More than 97% of the queries were unnecessary, 
including over 51 million dynamic dns updates (i.e. brain-dead Windows 
computers).
