Thank you for contacting Lycos support. We have identified the cause of
this problem: Virgin Media is blocking our UK customers from accessing
their Tripod sites.

We are doing our best to correct this issue but you can assist us by
contacting Virgin Media directly to report this issue to them.

I cannot see VM blocking sites for business users, i am on a rather expensive business connection, and i am affected.

The 403 forbidden error is a server generated security error, caused when the person accessing the page does not have permission to, so Lycos are actually blocking access to the site from VM connections.
