Strange streaming video/youtube issue.

This is a strange one:

Recently (this started happening last month), I have been unable to watch some (but not all) streaming videos on youtube. With some movies I get lucky and am able to stream the whole video rather quickly, as normal, but with others, I only get to see the first 2 or 3 seconds of the video. This seems to be isolated to particular videos, and does not appear to be a random fault (for example, the videos that play reliably will always play reliably. The ones that don't will never play)

This happens on all of my systems on my network, and it happens on both Firefox and IE. I have all of the relevant plugins. My crappy netgear router has the latest version of the firmware, and all of the relevant ports are open. Other streaming video sites such as gametrailers don't seem to be affected.
