How slow is YouTube?

Jon12345 · 23 Jun 2008 at 17:25

I'm finding that it takes ages for YouTube to play videos. For example, I went to the homepage and played this:

Michael Hamilton - I ******* Love New York

I am using Firefox 3, but it was flow using Firefox 2 too.

It took 1min 32 secs before it started playing. How long does it take on your PC? Do you think it could be due to Kaspersky internet suite blocking something?

Thanks,

Jon

I have also found you tube painfully slow

Holy swearing.

It's been hit and miss recently for me. Found it trouble to skip sometimes.

I've never seen the F-word in an OCUK post.

And YouTube hasn't been itself for some time.

That's true - it seems to be since they rolled out the new player, I think.

Plenty of talks about Gordon Ramsey in other sections of the site
