Is anybody else having abnormally slow YouTube loads over the past couple of days? Both my home and office connections take an abnormally long time to load: low-res videos that used to load up more quickly than they could stream now need to buffer. Speed tests show all the speed is there, so it's gotta be a server thing, or maybe a bottleneck somewhere in our local ISP.

Just frustrating, is all. I wanna watch Tom's cool UTCC videos without the pauses.

part of the reason why I rarely visit youtube, it could well be my new netbook, i don't really care why, if it's slow i stay away. sports web sites are terrible nowadays, i used to be on foxsports all the time, not anymore.

Yeah I have been noticing it, sometimes if you select the higher res version it buffers faster, sometimes not. You get what you pay for I guess. 24 hours of video gets uploaded to youtube every minute of the day, its a surprise it works at all.

I thought it was just me.

Yeah--it's gotten annoying in the past couple of weeks.

what is it when you can't get out of full screen mode. is there more to it than simply hitting esc. i've been doing ctrl alt del, and logging off to beat it.
