Thanks for the replies everyone - very helpful. I did try the virgin proxy address and it worked - no problem accessing the site. I can confirm it is only VM where I have a problem. Any BT-based ISP has no issues accessing the site, T-mobile web and walk also gets straight in, so I can only surmise its something to do with VM. It's bizarre but there must be an explanation (VM refused point blank to offer one).

Can someone explain what 'open DNS' is and if this would be any better than what I'm doing now. Also has the decommissioning of proxy servers caused anyone else a problem, would be interesting to know.

Thanks again - I appreciate the aggro this has saved me by not now having to change telecomms provider.
