Oh good god. Flash websites with music, that autoplay with no button to switch it off.
I feel like I'm back in the early '90s


If I were the OP, I would be glad that they [the site owners] had banned an IP range that includes my IP

Wow, that's virtually an admission by VM that it's their fault (even if it's not) so get them to refund your phone call charges quickly before they change their minds

Hi - check the forum here on 'internet services' section where i started a thread on 'forbidden' and 403 error messages - appears all tripod-lycos hosted websites from US are blocked in UK since yesterday via Virgin media for some unknown reason e.g. try to access my site - www.ambilacuk.com and see what you get !!
