Yesterday (09-Jun-10) I had a similar experience,
with MTNL (Mumbai, adsl broadband) internet access.
Fortuniately I tracked the issue to this:
The ISP's DNS server IPs had been changed
(from 59.185.0.50 to 59.185.3.10).
The moment I changed my adsl-router DNS settings to follow
the ISP's DNS values (instead of the earlier hard-coded
IPs) the problem was resolved. Please note that the
hard-coded DNS values had been working for a very
long time, perhaps at least six months or more.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
