Some sites nice and fast - some sites SLOW or timeout...?

Hi, I'm having a problem - some sites are great, very fast (potuk.com, ispreview.co.uk, google.com/co.uk), but some sites (well, 90% of them) are slow, or don't even load and timeout! (i.e. OpenDNS.com, speedtest.net & sitepoint.com)

Does anyone know what the cause of the problem could be? It seems sites which are UK based (I expect ispreview.co.uk is UK based? Same with potUK.com) are nice and fast, where as non UK based sites like sitepoint.com (again, I suspect its hosted in the US or somewhere) are really slow or timeout, leading me to believe this is a problem with my ISP, UKFSN/EntaNet, and not local...

(Oh, and my speeds are fine, I'm getting 800KB/sec on this!)

Anyone know what my problem could be?

Cheers!

I did note that several major websites in the USA were suffering timeouts and outages yesterday, which sometimes also impacted other websites that linked back to them. Not sure if it's related.

How long have you been having the problem and have you ever tried running a tracerout to the sites that give you problems?
