Youtube/streaming buffering issues

Hi, wonder if anybody can help me with this issue. Youtube and most of the videos i try to stream are buffering a lot. So far I tried:
- rebooting modem, restarting computer
- run a speed test and getting: 39dl, 3.17ul, 69ping. All ok as I'm on UPC 30MB
- tried with ethernet and no difference
- changed the channel on the wireless
- cleared my cache, done a defrag and updated my version of flash

Any ideas?

Having major issues with Youtube and my UPC connection tonight. Really sick of it. 100meg which when I got it first was blown away by how good youtube worked but in last week or two it gone to the dogs.

Resets of router ect do no good.

I don't necessarily think it is a UPC issue. I tried it on my friends DSL line and its acting the same

Probably just some load management issues on YT's end.

Absolutely dire for me last night. Even low bandwidth streams just wouldn't play. Occasionally a F5 refresh would fix it instantly but mostly Youtube was completely unwatchable. UPC 30Meg

All over Europe

UPC is experiencing this all across Europe. I'm from Vienna, Austria, have a 20Mb UPC connection and can't watch Youtube for sh*t. It's been going on for the last week and a half or so...
