Atempt to login to hotmail/outlook gets DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

Question
-
Almost everytime I try to login to hotmail/outlook access fails with page saying
This site can’t be reached
outlook.live.com’s server DNS address could not be found.
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN
Access fail happens on Chrome and Safari, and when incognito page.
Login can take up to 10 attempts, and sometimes is successful after one to two hours break.
I am using Apple MacBook Pro with OS X Version 10.11.3
This began one week ago, November1 2016 ago has not happened before
