Worked a charm for me. Cheers!

Greetings and salutations, delicious friends!
For those of you who use Verizon FIOS and are of a technical bent, it might be worth your consideration to go here. That has directions on how to change your DNS settings so that you can make it back home. As someone who, until about 5 minutes ago was in the same boat, I can tell you that OpenDNS is fully updated.
Also please understand that you try this at your own risk. If your computer suffers from some great misfortune(although I'm not sure what) due to those directions, or anything else for that matter, it is none of my doing.
Good luck!

ADMIN EDIT: This sounds like a good approach (though at your own risk as James says!) A few more notes from Failbetter below, here: http://community.failbettergames.com/topic918-found-fallen-london.aspx?MessageID=12953#post12953

wow, still not working through my ISPs DNS server -- still getting down for service page.. Remarkable. Remarkable is not, umm, a synonym for good, in this case. I am reluctant to mess with my IP addresses.
Y'know, I've bought $100 bucks worth of Nex is the past month and a half. Just sayin'.
Edit: back in.

If you don't want to fiddle with your ISP, have you tried resetting your DNS instead? I found that worked well and had no abnormal results.
Then, once my ISP updated to recognize Story Nexus, I reset it back to my ISP defaults.
If still insist on using your ISP's DNS then there is very little anyone at FBG can do until your ISP decides to update it's DNS settings. You could always call your ISP and ask them to update it, but I don't know how effective that would be.
I think resetting your DNS temporarily until your ISP updates it's info is the way to go. There really isn't anything else anyone can do for you until then regardless of how much Nex you've bought.

This thread may be old, but it helped me deal with some connectivity issues that Failbetter's tech support - perhaps unsurprisingly - could not help me with. Having my computer connect to Fallen London through Google's public DNS addresses resulted in a lot less throttling.
