Well.. After having 6-7 months of problem free internet, I am now having some issues, which need to be fixed ASAP, because my parents are trying to get travel insurance before we go overseas.

What's happening:

Basically, Facebook can't LOAD AT ALL, I can't load ANY youtube videos, a large number of websites just WONT work. This is happening on every device in my house; 3 computers, my iPad, 3 iPhones and an iTouch.

All of the pages go to 'The connection with the server has timed out and we suggest you reload the page'

Safari:
Went from not being able to load anything BEFORE update, and now it just crashes and can't load any parts of a website besides google. E.G I can't even load GTPlanet. (before and after)

Chrome:
When I downloaded it, Facebook WAS working, now it can't load anymore. Still I am unable to play Youtube videos (Loads, but does not buffer)

Firefox:
Connects to Facebook but at a slow speed, and can't load YouTube.

What i've done to try and fix this problem:

Power cycling them modem frequently, (every 5-10 minutes)

Downloaded and updated every browser I use (Chrome, Safari and Firefox)

My IP HAS changed since last week, and the last time something like this happened, I think it was due to that?

I've checked my internet speeds on Speedtest, I am getting a 40 ping (Usually get 2-3), 12MBps Downloads (Normal) and it can't register an upload speed.

Please, help is needed ASAP.
 
It sounds like your modem is going bad. I'd talk your ISP for this.
 
Cheers for the help Nick.

I turned the modem off for 12 hours, and when I turned it back on, everything seemed to be back in working order. Lucky I was at school for 9 of those 12 hours ;)
