Since around mid evening on Monday 31st March 2014 I have been experiencing very slow page loading times coupled with buttons and other functions not working properly (mainly on Facebook) but with page time outs on a number of other sites.
Having looked at my Technicolor router log it seems more than a coincidence that my last change of dynamic IP address coincided with the start of these problems. I have noticed that the 'culprit' i.e. IP 81.174.207.253 is blacklisted on four anti-spam websites whereas the current IP 87.112.184.2 is only blacklisted on one. Might this have something to do with it?

Your IP being blacklisted shouldn't have an impact on your browsing, E-Mail servers check incoming mail against these blacklists as a preventative measure to combat SPAM coming into their system.
Since your IP address changed to your current one have you seen any difference when browsing?
