Okay, so your ISP is having DNS issues, probably. Just change the DNS servers your router is using, as was suggested earlier, and you should be fine.

As a little idea off the main track; you could check the hosts file if there is something off (like wikipedia set on some random ip...)
Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

He already said that he tried checking from the router itself. This could not be the problem. It's likely Qwest's DNS servers being terrible about something.

im only using dummy ip's for the hosts file and those are used for ad blocking.
