Windows 7 - not displaying images/certain pages after Sky broadband went down

Hello, i'm really hoping someone on here can help me!
On Thursday, once again, we lost connection to our Sky broadband. After an engineer visit, access was supposedly restored on friday. However ever since, we have been unable to open pages such as facebook, when you type the address it simply times out, pictures and auction text on ebay will not display, trying to open any microsoft pages is impossible, google simply sends you round in circles and will not open hardly any pages and the ones it will open open really slowly, yet sites such as our local council, amazon, this site will open fine. I also cannot download any of the microsoft updates and the troubleshooter will not start, it just gives an error message.
Does anyone have any idea as to what might be going on? My grandad is also with sky and lives across the road, he has no internet access at all. Im confused as we have access, but all these problems with selected sites?
Thanks so much if anyone can offer any ideas, but im not that computer savvy so it will have to be as basic as possible!
