Trying to use geekzone today, pages part load, then the browser pauses, waiting for view.atdmt.com for ages.

ping view.atdmt.com

<snip - all the same>.

Is this local to the isp this conneciton uses, or, is anyone else having these issues?
Makes reading / useing geekzone pretty much unusable.

If you are on TelstraClear (which looks like), I had this problem and already complained to them... Nothing done on that of course.

You can add 127.0.0.1 view.atdmt.com to your hosts file and ths will prevent loading the content in question. It's an Australian campaign for DLink. It is almost finished, and I won't run atdmt anymore. I had TelstraClear filtered on Google Ad Manager, but it seems your IP address doesn't resolve to their name, so that's probably why Googe still tried to deliver the ad to your browser.
