Very occasionally my connection to the internet seems to stop working, i can connect to stuff that appears to be on skys cache servers but beyond that things stop working for a short while, it hasn't happened enough to be worth asking about but it's just done it again and id like some idea as to what's going on and why?

I would say its only happened a few times in the last few months but don't remember it happening before that, i can't access the majority of sites and when i ping the ones i can it goes to skys cache and i think i can even ping non working sites although timeouts show up in places, i thought perhaps its a dns issue so i've tried opendns with no luck, after a short while it starts working again, also tried router reboots etc. :confused:
 
Sorry i wasn't very clear, basically when this happened most websites were inaccessible except for a few sites i tried, wondering why only a few worked while the rest didn't i ran a trace route on one of the working sites, it only went 5 hops away and had a sky ip which i thought was odd so i ran a whois on the ip and it was a cache server, i could also trace route non working sites but still not view them, after probably 5 to 10 minutes everything worked again, its only happened the odd time over the months but its a bit of a weird one, i think it may be my line noise or something?
 
I was on msn at the time and that stopped working, perhaps i happened to trace route them just when it started to become usable again, sky definitely have a cache server, reddit.com was one site that worked and i tested, even now i can run a tracert and it shows its being cached, if you have sky see for yourself.
