Bumping this thread because this problem seems to have resurfaced, with the same websites affected. Steam, Blizzard/WoW, liverpoolfc.tv (lol), guild wars, etc.
edit: From Bournemouth. Problem's been reported again on the VM forums by some of the same people who were complaining about it last week, so I know it's not just me.
