BBC has constant issues. This started happening a few days ago, but yesterday was OK - but nothing seems to want to load in standard times.

I have 2 machines going through the same router, and both having issues. Have re-booted, but still does not work. Is the same for Firefox & IE.

Any suggestions (apart from loading above when it happens, but as it is 2 machines...).

quick update - dslreports has loaded, and when run Tweak Tester II returns '* Downloading file of size 1024000: Failed to download: Read timed out'
If you have Firefox, then download the extension from here http://www.customizegoogle.com/ You can change loads of things 2 do with google, such as blocking ads, adding extra search engines to the top of the page.
