how about NOT give a shit about FB for a week or two? No? ok then... maybe try to use the IP, or one of the IPs of FB and circumvent DNS?
Name: www.facebook.com Address: 66.220.158.74 as a workaround given that you seem to have OSX at home try and share the internet connection from one of the laptops and use the FB app on the iphones.
