    this is in answer to the dns server answer, - they should be ok, but just try using 208.67.222.222 instead

    in the primary or secondary box?

    primary

    (this is changing the settings from virgins dns to opendns) to rule out any issue with a particular dns server

    add

    173.194.67.106 www.google.co.uk

    to your hosts file

    check the dns settings on your router.

    set your homepage to www.google.co.uk in all 3 browsers and test

    we'll come back to that.

    once you've changed the dns, test the 3 browsers and phones - do they go to uk or greek google if you enter www.google.co.uk

    run ccleaner

    did you type www.google.co.uk

    or use the 173 address

    is it correct that you havent changed the host file yet - don't if you haven't
