As has been said above, not a great deal anybody can do/recommend unless they know what the site is.

I've seen OpenDNS block some sites, delivering nothing more than a blank page in response to any request. I've also seen PlusNet's connection exhibit different behaviour, but for different sites.

I've also seen the sort of behaviour that you're describing when sites are failing for some reason, or when the connection to them is breaking down somewhere along the line, it may well be that part of your route to the connection is damaged/faulty and that's why you're not even getting a response (although, admittedly, you should be getting something even if it's just a failure code/response).

Beyond that I don't know what to suggest.
