The reason your connection works fine is because the route it took to get to that address did not lie across the two Virgin machines I identified in my last post as being part of the problem:

7 12 ms 18 ms 12 ms gfd-bb-b-ge-000-0.network.virginmedia.net [213.105.172.6]
8 12 ms 11 ms 15 ms gfd-bb-a-ge-000-0.network.virginmedia.net [213.105.172.5]

Once the packet gets between those it just gets bounced between them infinitely until they both just give up.

Once again, I state that Virgin have a serious problem somewhere in their network, and will likely cause random sites to stop working for certain machines if they happen to be trying to route packets through those addresses.
