I've always been satisfied with AOL, but then again I'm easily satisfied

Try using different DNS servers. It could be an AOL DNS problem which would explain the working of only certain websites. I recommend OpenDNS - 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

Tyr putting them in through your TCP/IP settings on your NIC.

[Luke]

Although, if i use a proxy, i can get onto other sites :S

Same issue here.

Heres a example trace route to the BBC news website:

C:\Users\Tom>tracert news.bbc.co.uk
Tracing route to newswww.bbc.net.uk [212.58.226.20]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

It times out shortly after getting past my router.

Oh and as for a stable connection:
