What troubleshooting have you done on your LAN? I note you have over a decade of experience in 'PC Hardware' so I would presume you've done everything to eliminate possible issues, taken router out of the equation, changed cable to the modem, etc, etc, rather than assuming the issue is with Virgin, right?

Your being unable to ping the BBC but being able to reach the network it's hosted on makes me wonder about your router or PC is all. Your traceroute from last night showed zero packet loss.
