    What do you mean by "fail to load" ?

    Do you get a site / page not found, or does it partially render ?


    Do you have any browser add-ons ?
    Ghostery, Ad-block, https-everywhere or the like ?

    No addons. Just not loading and no error messages. Just stays on loading screen with sspinning cursor. Using chrome and IE8 all latest. Avast anti v. No restrictions

    Try access the sites in Windows Safe Mode and using IE in Safe Mode.

    Tracert to www.rte.ie is fine. All low ping jumps.

    Must be some plugin on the site that these pcs are blocking. Channel4.com is ok
