I tried your suggestion, and this is the output I got:
root@swapnil-desktop:~# telnet google.com 80
Trying 64.233.167.99...

Have you tried this when you are not able to browse? If this is successful
when you are blacked out from internet, then your service provider is not
blocking your http and most probably your browser is at fault (because you
are able to access port 80 from a different application). If your telnet on
port 80 is also blocked, then there is some problem with your modem or
service provider. In my opinion, service provider will never block any
traffic simply because the OS is Linux, so the second possibility is very
rare.(I am assuming that "ping www.google.com" is successful when you are
blacked out)
