   That's not exactly the whole story but it's what the owners decided to blame    
   it on.   
      
   The parent company was/is notorious for having a broken system and not fixing    
   it.  They were also very slow to deal with complaints and I'd heard that there    
   was potential lawsuits brewing (this last part is hearsay).   
      
   In any case, I think it's good for all involved to move on to    
   better-maintained and better-cared-for services.  I switched to No-IP years    
   ago with a paid account and it's worked perfectly for me.
