Yes i have done ALOT more digging and i think the reason things are not working is becuase there is a problem with my DNS, i dont know if this is something i have messed up or virgin have messed up because i got a new router and faster internet about a week ago.

Change your DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

I have re downloaded java and added minecraft and java to my firewall although i never had to do that before, i am now gettin fatal error (4) s3.amazonaws.com and any tutorials on the internet are not helping, i still think it is a problem with my DNS so i will probably contact virgin

If it is as problem with your DNS, changing your server's to the addresses I listed above will resolve it.
