It could well be that they're still using www.broadbandforum.co (still works but quite erratic and slow) instead of https://broadband.forum which loads up in a flash.

well. some guys are unable to access the forum using these dns servers as well.
i am totally confused.

I think they might still have the old IP in their DNS resolver cache, happens if you have the DNS client service running (default). So even if they use opendns, it will still be picking out the old address. To test
ipconfig /displaydns
to reset it use
ipconfig /flushdns
Since i changed to the opendns servers, i have not had any probs accessing this site apart from the times when it *was actually* down.

Cache Size has nothing to do with it.
a cache with just 1 line and your old address, will never refresh until the default TTL in the cache expires.
Looking at this kb article (XP & better only), it appears
• The default TTL for positive responses is 86,400 seconds (1 day).
• The TTL for negative responses is the number of seconds specified in the MaxNegativeCacheTtl registry setting.
• The default TTL for negative responses is 900 seconds (15 minutes).[/b]
So maybe it was not the cache afer all, given default TTL is set to *just* 15mins for a negative response.

The Coolest One!!!
even i was unable to access this site for almost a month or so...but it suddenly opened up and started working fine...sushubh did suggest me to change the DNS, but i was able to open the site before that only (without changing my DNS) though i've changed my DNS to Open DNS now...all working fine now at last 
I can confirm that Airtel is blocking this site. I had to use DNS servers from http://www.opendns.com (208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220), then stop and disable the DNS client from services.msc to access this site..
Edit: Confirmed!
