Youtube problems

[#1]

Been noticing over the past week or two. youtube seems to load videos slowly and on some occasions it takes about 30 seconds to start. Also videos freeze part way (see image) sometimes.
Anyone else been getting this? (Other sites work fine)
plusnet comment?

Same, sometimes they don't load at all or will stop halfway through, and if you look at the time bar, it seems to load in chunks, instead of smoothly like it used to on other ISPs.
I get the same with speedtests, the graph will just drop-out mid test and then return 5 seconds later. I thought it might just be my line training.

same for me past couple of nights..............

[#4]

playing youtube through xbox live plays with no problems..............

[#5]

We'll try loading some videos on our test line and see what happens.

[#6]

They're loading from here, although one video did take around 10 seconds to start. Other video sites ok?

[#7]

mine has taken over a minute before today. Something is clearly wrong. Are you're youtube cache servers at capacity or something?
And yes other sites are fine. My own site is fine. Vimeo is fine too.

[#8]

even worse today than it was last night........

I honestly thought it was just me, yeah I've noticed this too over the past few days. Takes around 20 sec's for video to start playing normally almost instantly.

It looks like something's amiss if there's quite a few of you that are seeing the issues, we're still looking here.

I don't know about others but I've just test using Google Chrome and its working fine instant play back, but using Firefox there is a delay. This could point to the browser itself but I have noticed that Chrome loads HTML5 video and Firefox loads flash player video. I'll perform some more tests..

[#12]

it seems to be a hit and miss. am getting the same problem on all browsers.

Yeah the latest version of flash is a bit naff and I've had all sorts of problems with it, but I'm seeing any large file transfers have hiccups either starting or mid-transfer.

I thoght the same - and its the same with me.
Sometimes they seem not to start at all - so I reload the page
I had no idea whether it was my (very) old computer, plusnet or youtube themselves
This is on firefox and win XP
