Move the domains elsewhere (e.g., if NS1.EXAMPLE.COM is bogus, move 
EXAMPLE.COM elsewhere). Once you do that, NSI isn't in charge of 
*.EXAMPLE.COM glue records any more, and you can have your new 
registrar correct them - in most cases, quite quickly and easily.

        Unfortunately, if you have other domains registered with
        that same nameserver then NSI may hold onto the host record
        and not let go for MONTHS.

        That last announcement includes some hope, but I'm not
        holding my breath.

It may not solve your "last-minute" issue, but the reality is that 
convincing NSI to behave responsibly should be the next Olympic sport.

        I hear they're getting better about brand-new customers,
        but all of us who've been using them since the benevolent
        public service days (remember those?) still get screwed.
