Maybe its just the site that doesnt work.

Does it work for other websites?

This problem happened to me, sorta.
If three or more computers were on at a time, connected to the internet, me and my brother would get disconnected every five minutes from online games, and sometimes sites wouldn't load either.
Somehow one of our phone wasn't working, so we changed the line, and it kinda fixed. Later the problem persisted, and we called our ISP and they told my grandpa to follow some steps (Think it was reseting the router/modem) and it works better now.
Not sure if it has to do with the ISP though.

Beware of resetting your router. Resetting it will cause you to lose all configurations for you're wireless internet. Don't reset without knowing how to set wireless settings.

Yes, we did it with customer service guiding.

yea i highly doubt its anything as simple as that though... take w3 for example when i connect to bnet it says initiating connection to battle.net and stays like that forever(i left for a half hour and came back still at that) it wouldnt go through to either connecting or saying unable to connect. while yet i can do a ping command to say google (in cmd window type ping www.google.com) and it will come back with a 100% connectivity rate. i have 2 other computers on this network that work fine too. also i didnt download or change anything during the time this started it was completely random for me. (id just like to reformat my system and hope that that would fix it but i couldnt find an xp disk yet ((. also i talked to an emachine guy online they refused for it to be anything wrong with the computer notto mention spending 45 minutes waiting on them. i found it ridiculous.

Try AVG or Avast.
Google either name and run one of em. Be sure to disable McAffe when you scan.
