Is anyone else unable to load Ebay or Hotmail?!

Hi
Is any having any problems loading ebay or hotmail, every time I try to load hotmail I get this
https://www.hotmail.com is unavailable or may not exist (with a virgin media search engine and background loaded)
When I attempt to load Ebay I get this under an AVG heading.
Oops! Page Not Found

Sorry, the page you were looking for could not be found.
Tips to find what you’re looking for:

  • Make sure the website address you entered is correct and doesn't contain a typo.
  • Go to AVG Search Homepage to easily find web pages, images, videos and more.
At first I assumed since AVG updates regularly and automatically it may be this, but even disabling it temporalily doesnt seem to change anything?
Any suggestions please

    Yup, I have no Internet access at all through my pc. I thought my router was playing up. I went onto another forum where folk from all over the country are saying there's a national problem so I guess we just have to wait and see what happens - no one can get through on the phone either as the lines are constantly engaged. So annoying!

    definitely a VM problem, can't even get to VM on o2 either.

    Seems to mostly be HTTPS secure based sites which are most affected...
