Youtube D/L speeds

Yeah, it's as slow as hell recently. It's got to the point now where I don't even bother to attempt streaming the HD content.

Dewotter · 16 Jun 2009 at 22:16

Same for me, been very slow today.

No-One · 16 Jun 2009 at 22:18

Am I the only one who's heard of 4chan but has no idea what it actually is?

BigglesPiP · 16 Jun 2009 at 22:19

It's google trying to cut their losses.

Apparently it's caused by Google having issues on one of their major links in London. Not quite sure why it hasn't been fixed yet.. I'd have assumed a company as big as Google would have had it fixed sharpish!

Been slow buffering here for weeks now on and off can never play in hq quality even with a 15mbit connection.Its weird though at times videos load instantly whilst other times refresh buffering then refresh again and hopefully it just about keeps up with the pace of the vid.

So pleased this isn't just me! Buffering has been horrendous of late particularly with embedded links I find. It is at its worse on the HQ movies which is logical but they are just totally unplayable I find.

opendns sorted it for me

That sounds like the most plausible explanation because it's fine for me in Japan.

It’s slowly getting worse.

daztrouk · 17 Jun 2009 at 09:40

Has anyone else been experiencing tediously slow video streaming on youtube? These past weeks or so I've noticed it getting incredibly slow, even to steam the smallest of clips.

I like youtube, I enjoy using the site, it's a free service and for these reasons I can't really complain but to know it's not just me and my internet connection would be nice.

Youtube has been slow for a long time now and I'm on 20MB cable for god's sake!

I should not be seeing buffering signs but I do....
