Greetings all! I'd like to cross-check to see if others encounter similar problems. [A] Trying to access the Argos website: http://www.argos.co.uk simply hangs: "Waiting for argos.co.uk..." [B] Similarly, trying to access the National Rail website: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk simply hangs: "Waiting for www.nationalrail.co.uk..." Trying traceroute: traceroute www.argos.co.uk gives: traceroute to e624.b.akamaiedge.net (2.18.178.168),...

It has been like this since yesterday at least (could have also been earlier, but yesterday was the first time recently that I have tried to access these sites). Any comments? And, while I have the opportunity: Happy Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!
