Can't access Yahoo Finance UK?

turbobob

For some reason I can't open the page at http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/ on any computer connected to my router. The connection times out. I noticed this a few weeks ago and its still the same. I've not noticed it on any other sites I use. I think I can rule out anything in Windows causing the problem as it's the same when I boot into Ubuntu, and also on a Mac. I tried connecting through an anonymous proxy today and it worked.

Any tips on fixing this? Is it likely to be an issue with my ISP or something to do with the router?

Thanks

You are not on AOL by any chance are you, as they had some issues recently.

ormus

that link works fine here.
does sound like your ISP is at fault.

busenbust

Just tested and working fine here too. Any particular browser? Can you try an alternative?

ormus

your not using the ISP software are you?
ie AOL?

turbobob

No not with AOL, I'm with Utility Warehouse (I think they are linked in some way to Opal Telecom as that is what some sites report from my IP address). Tried a few browsers on different computers (Firefox, Chrome, IE, Safari). Think it must be an ISP issue.
