At the moment, "ping" works as I can ping wwwfreebsd.org:
$ ping www.freebsd.org
PING www.freebsd.org (216.136.204.117): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 216.136.204.117: icmp_seq=0 ttl=45 time=183.653 ms
64 bytes from 216.136.204.117: icmp_seq=1 ttl=45 time=171.993 ms
64 bytes from 216.136.204.117: icmp_seq=2 ttl=45 time=172.027 ms

However, not freebsdforums:
$ ping www.freebsdforums.org
PING vail.edry.com (207.174.189.161): 56 data bytes

--- vail.edry.com ping statistics ---

I've already emailed my ISP about these very points and concerns - I'm
not holding my breath..,
