So what is the packet latency like between your computer and those
sites? Can you ping them at all? Probably not.
Have you tried running a traceroute? where does it fall off?
The problem exists outside your scope of influence in any case. You
can/should be complaining to your ISP at this point, though the first
things you should do when diagnosing network issues like this is ping
the target and check for dropped packets and high latency and run a
traceroute to see if you're even getting to the site at all, or
getting stopped somewhere else.
Of course, neither of those is a guarantee, but it's a starting point at least.
