This has permitted Verisign to jump from the 1599th most visited site to 
the 19th and to 9th rank in terms of site at least visited once. These 
(Alexa) figures should still improve.

The problem is not the Versign's action. It is the technical inability 
after 20 years to respond correctly to the users while doing it.
