It looks like Verizon turned on their DNS Assistance “service” in my area for FiOS customers in the last week or so. When I fat-finger a URL now, it redirects to a Verizon-branded Yahoo search for what I put in as a URL.
They built this into their DNS system. You can opt out, if you wish, but it requires changing your DNS settings on your computer or your router. Below is a link to how to do this. I'll be doing it tomorrow probably.
