Can't connect to some sites

[Nor]

Hi lads,

I am having trouble connecting to some sites various times a day. Usually lasts for 10-15 minutes and then I can connect. It's always the same sites, with others being available 24/7.

I used to bypass the problem using a proxy, but I can't do that anymore. VM gives me a "you don't want to use a proxy" thing :)

Any ideas what I can do? I've called VM before about it, but it's pointless.

webcache.virginmedia.com port 8080 proxy?

Works for me when I can't access some sites.

Cheers. I'll give that a go.

Open DNS was great for when I was on Sky BB, I often found Sky had issues with DNS servers which meant I can be on MSN but websites would'nt load, using dns was good and free (and can also be used as a free and good parental control).

Kind Regards.
