Once upon a time in alt.atheism, dear sweet Ron Baker, Pluralitas!
(stoshu@bellsouth.net.pa) made the light shine upon us with this:
5 minutes ago my internet connection started
acting totally dead. Can't get a google page.
Can't get a yahoo page. Can't ping anything/body.
But I can still do usenet. Weird.
Mine was just bought out by Time-Warner. I had a few days of strange
Usenet behovior - posts would disappear and service quit until a few hours
later, then I'd have to re-download all that day's headers. It's all
better now.

Different ports, different protocols. Could be some software changes at
the ISP that specifically effect HTTP/80.
Just for the sake of curiosity, would you try an SSL site, like
https://addons.mozilla.org/ ? I believe that's port 443.

(piggy backing for obvious reasons.)
I rebooted the computer and modem and then I
didn't have anything, and no usenet. (So I couldn't
see your suggestion.)
I called the ISP. First two times it was busy. Third
time there was a recording acknowledging that there
was a problem interfering with service.
By the morning it was working again.

Sounds reasonable. Ping would say "Ping request could
not find host blah.com. Please check the name and
try again." I'm no expert but that seems DNS based.
