Just guessing here, but I'm assuming the $40 plans don't utilize Dyn's anycast infrastructure, which is apparently the target of this attack? Literally just a guess, though. On Fri, Oct 21, 2016 at 2:36 PM Mike Lieman via Outages <outages@outages.org> wrote:
The strangest thing was that while our premium Managed DNS ( Dynect ) domains were having issues, the 40 dollar ones I use for my own personal stuff were rock solid. Guess that layer isn't high profile enough or something?

Let’s all be clear that Dyn has to be in the top 10 DNS infrastructures on the planet. Possibly the largest that sells DNS as a service.
Which part of Dyn? IIRC, there are multiple layers, and the cheaper layer(s) weren't anycast and only in 5 locations on single IPs. That's not saying that Dyn is bad, but some people like to tout them as the end-all-be-all at $40/yr.... so as with anything you get what you pay for.
