I too am having routing issues with a secure cloud storage site:
https://app.dumptruck.goldenfrog.com
Below are trace routes direct and with a VPN, which shows a clear route.
This is most annoying and I wish BT would sort it out, its a premium service (infinity) that I pay alot for, and having to use a VPN is not ideal.

First post - Hoping someone can help, this is driving me mad!
Had Infinity 2 installed a few months back - and I've had a problem right from the word go with SOME secure websites (https), normally when trying to pay for something, or log in to an account etc. So far, the list of affected sites are:
Tesco.com
Confused.com
ebuyer.com
direct.gov.uk
The list is growing as I discover them. Now, the above websites work flawlessly up until the point I log in to an account to pay for something/service - what happens then is the browser will 9 times out of 10 time out. On the 1 time out of 10 it doesn't, it is very slow or doesn't display the page correctly. Aside from this, the internet is flawless at all times, and runs at full speed. This is, however, a massive issue as each time I go to buy something, I get a headache.
Now, I run 2 desktops and a laptop, have multiple OS and multiple browsers. The laptop is used out of home too. I can CATEGORICALLY say that it is not a laptop/desktop configuration problem - this all started only when we had Infinity installed, and I can access the sites fine on the laptop on a friends broadband.
I believe this is a home hub issue, I believe it is blocking (or trying to block) some encrypted web sites, for some unknown reason - can anyone help me with this?
What I've tried:
disabling all computer firewalls and homehub firewall
resetting the homehub
changing the DNS settings to openDNS and Google DNS
Any ideas?
This happens with select websites and ONLY when secure, but not all secure sites. For instance, confused.com was percectly fine until a few weeks ago when they updated the members area. It now takes me 15 minutes to get into the members area after many many refreshes and time-outs. Navigating the non-secure part of the website is flawless.
Any ideas appreciated before I ring BT direct and request a new home hub.
Thanks.
Is this specific to a particular browser? Have you tried alternate browsers? I cant see it being the router as its so specific to only HTTPS sites. It might be worth changing the MTU size on your PC its a per interface setting so you need to change the interface you use ie cabled ethernet or wireless. You can find more about changing the MTU size here http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-networking/how-do-i-change-the-mtu-settin... .
Try 1400 to start with and if you are still having issues try dropping to 1200, I wouldn't go any lower than that tho.
Still appallingly slow in the Portishead area.
I've been reading this thread with interest as I've been experiencing https issues for the best part of 18 months now on & off. I'm not on Infinity, although I'm being upgraded for free next week! However, I am in the SW of England, Newquay Cornwall to be precise.
I've reported this problem on numerous occasions to BT, who just fob me off & say it's a computer problem as nobody else has reported any problems! I know it isn't, as my daughters laptop, which has different os, browser & antivirus has the same problems at the same time.
I've never thought to look on this forum before to see if anybody else has this same issue, but I'm glad I did, because now if BT come back & say nobody else has experienced this issue I can say "Go look on your Forum"!!! 🙂
The problem seems to have got much worse recently & as one who does most of the Xmas shopping online, have been tearing my hair out!
I've emailed another complaint to BT today, so I'll be interested to hear their reply...Will keep you posted!
