I had Telecom broadnband for about 4 years but until last year i was having trouble visiting

www.vodafone.co.nz
www.nzcouriers.co.nz
www.godaddy.com
www.microsoft.com
and many others etc, etc...

Therefore, I had to hire a proxy server to view those websites. Yes - when I used a proxy or a VPN everything is fine except it is slow but if I don't, I can't see many websites. When trying to load those websites without a proxy or VPN, only a blank screen shows up and will eventually time out.

I have talked to their Tier 2 support (Case ID: 21000115) but after a few phone calls and tests (including line test, double checking using their DNS servers etc), nothing has been fixed. Although this issue was not fixed, they have completely ignored me.

I have shifted my home phone and broadband to Vodafone on 25/March/2011 with everything the same setup including the original modem. Those websites now "work"!!!

As they advised, I also suspected if something was wrong in my setup but now it looks like it is certainly a problem from Telecom broadband.

Does anyone here have a simlar problem like mine before?
