    It could be DNS related if certain pages cannot be found. ISP's DNS servers can be notoriously unreliable, so it may be worth changing the DNS on your PC to use OpenDNS (208.67.222.222).
    The other thing is that there were some big issues on the LINX network a couple of days ago which affected much of the internet - it could be related to that.

    Switch off your modem for 20 minutes, this will let all the connections drop out and try again. You may have a stale connection in the link to the ISP, by doing the above it should reset them as they would have timed out.

    OMG, the dreaded AOL! Now I know. They could not run a !!!!-up in a brewery, let alone an ISP model :rotfl:
