Is it me or does dotster take way to long to update name servers?

I was in the process of switching my freeplace site over to a new server. I moved it over to the new server, and then realized that i had about 20 friends on sub-domains on the origional server. And didnt wana make them go through the transfering process. I then reverted back to the old name servers. And now it has been 32 hours still not updating!

Updating nameservers can take up to 72 hours with any registrar. I have several domains with Dotster and changing nameservers usually takes, on average, around 48 hours. This is not slow, just standard.

I have not had an update from Dotster take over 24 hours in months...just lucky I guess. However, sometimes when you change and then change back it can prolong the process with any registrar. I have found previously even with OpenSRS they do not handle those as smoothly.
