Actually I USED to work for AOL, I know for a FACT That some of the Smaller ISP's USED TO only download the master Database from ICANN only 1 time PER WEEK. In fact, If memory serves me correctly, this was FIRST held by NetSol, until ICANN was formed.
That was a few years ago, so I don't know about now, but I do know for a fact that some of my customers end up having to wait for 5 days before it works in their browser, when it worked in mine within 24 hours. So, It still seems like SOME ISP's don't update every 72 rather at there OWN speed.
