Has Youtube been going slow for you lately?

Tsumaru · June 04, 2009, 08:26:00 AM

Some videos won't even load for me, and if they do the buffer can't keep up with how fast the video plays.

I have AT&T FastAccess DSL, which used to be really fast. But now ever since the 'economic collapse', it's been going slow as Dial-Up.

That happened to me a while back. It's okay now, but it's slower than when it's going fine.
Just wait a while and see what happens.

I thought it was only me...
Almost all sites that have videos drastically lower my speed from 54 mb/s to 18 mb/s

What the hell. D:

Update for me, yea Youtube has pretty much crashed...

It was perfectly fine until right now. Maybe the internet is breaking.

It was working fine for me fifteen minutes ago..

When I pinged www.youtube.com, it gave me an IP that went to google, so I think someone intercourse ed that up.

The only problem I've had with it is that it hates me having other tabs open...

It's been happening to me as well, but strangely it only happens when I am using Windows. it works fine in Ubuntu. Tsumaru, I have the same ISP as you and it's also been slower.

WiiGuy · June 05, 2009, 08:29:15 AM

it's been slow loading/not loading for me for the past week

When the videos don't load just hit play anyways, the progress bar wont work but the video will. At least for me it did.
