The BT resolver has for some reason decided that it cannot actually resolve 
hosting.cloudnext.net <http://hosting.cloudnext.net/>, so instead of letting 
the browser do its job, BT hijacks the DNS lookup to deliver advertisements.

If I happened to be the owner of a trademark, I would certainly consider its 
use in association with unrelated adverts to be trademark infringement. Alas, 
I’m not, and I’m not a lawyer either. I just detest that kind of behaviour.
