Ouch.
Well, that sounds indeed very weird. Even more taking that any problem
on the ISP side should be already fixed :-(
Does another network tests to that host work or also fail in the same
manner? I mean, ping, wget, dig, traceroute... you can try all of these
to see how it goes:
ping -c 3 www.debian.org
wget www.debian.org
dig www.debian.org
traceroute www.debian.org
