Youtube slow as ****/Vids not loading at all

christophicus

Anyone know if anything is up or is it just my PC?? Youtube is failing to load videos for me . I am on the 6 Mb NTL package and Break.com is loading fine.

MartMax

Aye, youtube is slow here in D1. High latency aswell (>200ms above normal).

PogMoThoin

Was havin probs earlier ere also, on Eircom

joePC

NTL D13 same issue

BendiBus

Pretty slow alright. 6Mb in Ballyfermot.

joe_chicken

High latency and disconnects for me yesterday...

Not 100% sure it's NTL or my new router, but I have a feeling it's NTL.

It's the 3mb (soon to be 6) line I have and I'm in D14

Same problem here on UPC 6MB, Lucan

Chorus = NTL = UPC

I've been having the same problem now for days. YouTube was pracitcally unusable last night

I wonder if its NTLs fault though, since all other pages loaded fine.

I had same problem on eircom, is fixed now tho

Crap again. No connection issues otherwise. On Eircom.

It's an all too common server issue with them I think.

RoyalMarine

yep. looks like its youtube. its sporadic. ive been trying to watch some vids for last few hours but it keeps going on/off.

streaming works fine everywhere else. i reckon its youtube being overused or server issues.

For me it plays 2 seconds of the video then stops. Also with eircom.

YouTube is mostly poor for me as well (on Digiweb Metro). I just start to play, hit pause, and come back later, while it downloads (it's too annoying to stop/start all the time).

Youtube is pretty bad for me too. Im with BT

christophicus

Anyone else still having this problem?? It's been like this for weeks now!!

I have had to use google video for the last few days !

quarryman

are they not the same thing?

For what its worth, I tried to view the site on NTL, no joy, then switched to my Eircom router and it was fine....

christophicus

Thats weird.

No Google Video and youtube are not the same. I wonder if it is just an NTL thing that youtube sucks, cause you would have thought that if it was a youtube problem there would be loads of commotion about it on the net.

Try it through a VPN if you can and see if it makes a difference. At least then if it's working fine over the VPN you can probably put it down to the ISP throttling youtube and have a better case to go to them with when complaining.
