Unable to connect to Livejournal sites

I don't know if this is related to last night's failures, but I can't connect to any Livejournal sites, not even to the main domain itself (www.livejournal.com).
'Downforeveryone...' says that the site is up, but this is what I get when trying a tracert:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.
C:\Users\Win7pro>tracert www.livejournal.com
Tracing route to www.livejournal.com [208.93.0.128]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

  2    34 ms    39 ms    40 ms  lo0-central10.ptn-ag01.plus.net [195.166.128.190

16    *        *        *    Request timed out.
17    *        *        *    Request timed out.
18    *        *
etc.
I've done two gateway hops and also rebooted the router, but nothing,
The last node to work in the trace is one of PlusNet's. Any thoughts?

Also, a better traceroute shows one more hop, beyond plusnet:

It was a bit slow but did load for us from a Plusnet connection.
