both work fine for me dude, but that being said, i use the google dns servers.

If you fancy changing some settings (which is easy so dont worry) try using the google dns servers and see if it helps. The following will take 30 seconds tops:

Click on start, control panel, network and sharing, manager network connections. Right click your network connection and click on properties, this will launch a connections properties windows. Click on ipv4, properties, click on use the preferred dns servers and enter the following:

8.8.8.8.
8.8.4.4.

and click on ok. To confirm the new setting you can click start, run, type in "cmd" and hit enter. This will launch a command prompt, type in "ipconfig /all" and hit enter. This will spit out all network connection info, the bit you want to look for is dns servers and make sure the ones you just entered are in there.

After that you are sorted, open IE again and give those sites a try.
