Last night I input the DNS codes into windows and also into the "Manual Setup" configuration of the router.
(Netgear614 v6), and everything was much much better.
Then just come on and things are relatively back to playing up, some sites open that would not open before and visa-versa and some don't "Mgmcc and VNU are two that will not open"
One strange thing I did notice was, the last few days when I switched on Skype, it used to take forever to go on-line and no initial connection sound, but now it connects "instantly" and the connection sound.
I also opened uTorrent last night and that had seemed to have improved also since inputting the DNS codes.
Is this a ISP problem. On one of the earlier links that is what was implied, but that page was also 2 years old and also involved Virgin Media (as they are now known as)
