However, I quite often see a problem where a page initially seems unwilling to load; see attachment for an example. It's the BBC news front page, and although the text seems ok, the pictures are missing. The page has finished loading.
If I do a refresh, everything (including the pictures) is displayed ok.
This happens on lots of sites, and only since we switched to Plusnet. Speed tests indicate 30+Mbps down and 5+Mbps up.
Any suggestions?
Cheers
John
EDIT: Windows 8

Also, try setting your DNS to a different setting.
If you know what you are doing you could debug it using the Developer Tools in the browser; but I guess if you know how to do that you would already have tried. I can't think of any quick way of describing what to do.
A quick look shows me that while the bbc news is at news.bbc.co.uk, the images are mainly at news.bbcimg.co.uk, which uses akamai. While it usually works really well it is fairly common for people (on any ISP) to have issues with akamai; someone else may be able to give more details.

One thing the nice Plusnet lady said which bothers me a bit is that when I changed the Windows DNS, it doesn't change the router's DNS. So although something must have changed in the router to affect my phones, they are presumably still using whatever DNS the router is set to.
So anyone know how to change the router's DNS which doesn't involve the telnet command 'dns server route list'?

(FWIW it shows that the telnet command to list the DNS addresses is 'dns server forward dnsset list')

But has changing the dns fixed your original problem?

BTW I've put the Windows DNS setting back to 'Obtain DNS server automatically', as it was before. That is, I'm assuming that if the router is set to OpenDNS, there's no point manually setting Windows DNS as well?

Routers can be set up to provide DNS to clients in two different ways: (1) the router acts as an intermediate DNS server and gives its own address to the client, (2) the router gives the required 'real' dns server addresses direct to the client.
With (1) using DHCP on the client computer to set up dns server should be fine, but could be an issue if the dns server on the router is slow.
With (2) the client computer will end up exactly the same as with explicit settings on the computer.
