JohnnyW Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Is anyone else finding YouTube videos extremely slow to load especially in High Quality or High Def mode? I've got a solid 8mb connection with o2 which is running perfectly for web/email/newsgroups/iplayer but YouTube is damn slow. I also tried it using my neighbours Sky broadband connection and YouTube videos were slow on that too. Been slow for about the past week. Just wondering if it was the same for everyone? My guess is that they're probably stuggling with the load at the minute I wouldn't like to guess how much bandwidth they go through in a day.

Ian W Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Glad it's not just me to be honest. I was about to test the connection speed here but it does indeed look like it's with youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that they're probably stuggling with the load at the minute I wouldn't like to guess how much bandwidth they go through in a day. My connection isn't the greatest so with YouTube I usually let the video load for a few seconds before I click play. I've noticed recently however that this no longer happens (or at least I can't see the download bar running ahead of the pointer). I was wondering if they made some fundemental change to the way the videos stream to your PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexM Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I've noticed Youtube to be slow on and off for the last month or so, depending on the video. I presume there's a problem with some of their servers, as some videos load instantly, and others just sit there forever.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
