This may be a long-shot, but I once had similar symptoms on a network
with a PPPoE DSL connection.  Everything would work as I expected, but
certain web sites would just never load.

Try lowering the MTU on the PPPoE interface, it worked for me.

In /etc/ppp/ppp.conf:

set mtu max 1480

Try setting various values starting at 1480 and lowering the value
until the web page problem is fixed.
