I have had this problem for quite some time, site like utube.com, bigfishgames.com etc just wont work. I have however found a way round this by using the blueyonder proxy. since they were taken over by virgin, I don't see there being a problem with this. If you are using IE7, go into the tools menu and click 'internet options'. Click on the 'Connections' tab and then click 'LAN Settings'. Put a tick in the 'Use proxy server for your LAN' box, then type 'webcache.blueyonder.co.uk' into the address box. Change the port number to 8080 in the port box then click OK and OK again. You may have to restart IE7 for it work. Its been working very well for me since the problem started, but I keep firefox going without a proxy so that I can check on the problem now and then. I have called virgin several times and also emailed them, but no luck so far. Hope this helps in the meantime.
