anyone experiencing issues playing youtube videos? seems to only effect youtube videos constantly buffering or failing to play. all other sites and speed tests work fine.
Virgin Media has suffered from issues with streaming certain types of video for years now, just check the forums... hundreds of threads complaining about how bad youtube etc is
Is it just me or has Youtube been super slow for the past few days?
I keep thinking I must have a problem with my connection because videos on YT are not loading, or are loading at 144p, like it's 1999 or something. But iPlayer HD and Vimeo HD both seem fine. WTF?
Yup for me on Virgin. Not sure if it's because we had our router replaced the other day but YouTube is just awful. Loads up on the lowest quality and sticking on any HD takes ages to buffer but once it does it plays just fine.

Try "Magic Actions for Youtube" addon/extension on either Firefox, Chrome or Opera, and tick "Speed Booster". It worked for me when I was using Virgin at my student place, and bypassed Virgin's odd throttling on Youtube.
