Changing nameservers tend to cause so much internal pain for an ISP that
is is rare to do it.  I know allstream.net aka AT&T Canada aka Netcom
Canada haven't changed their primary name server IPs for at least 10
years.  I have them memorized since I have used them so many times in
the past, and knowing a pair of reliable name servers is always handy
until you can look up the right one for the ISP you are using.
