Still having major problems

I can access it through my smartphone on my roaming network, but if I activate my WiFi I get exactly the same problems. The thing is every other site I go on at home works fine, I have no trouble with Facebook, Twitter, paintball forums, Youtube and anything else I go on, its just this site so I cant understand it! I've reset my router several times & I havent altered my firewall or anything. I expect the problems MZ is having are the same. Any ideas?

What ISP are you with? Same as MZ by any chance?

Also, try these commands. If you see obvious drops/fails in the network then I'd suggest you contact your ISPs with the logs as there's almost certainly a problem on the network they're using?

open a dos/cmd prompt and:-

Tracert www.homepageofthedead.com
Or
Tracert www.homepageofthedead.com >c:\tracert.txt
(that will output the results to a file)

ping www.homepageofthedead.com
Or
ping www.homepageofthedead.com > c:\ping.txt
(that will output the results to a file)
