Anyone having issues with youtube HD videos tonight? I can't watch any without it buffering. Speedtests and downloads are fine at full 6.0?

The question is, is Youtube HD the only trouble you are having trouble with? My connection can be fine, however youtube HD videos will not load at all. The site can be a royal pain sometimes. It may be that and not your connection.

at peak times i would blame both youtube for not having enough bandwidth and VM users for using it too much ;)

I just tried using Youtube to watch a 720p vid and had no trouble.

I am on BB XXl.

It's been crap here in Swansea for about the past four days.

Youtube has been useless the past week or so, i have mine set to go high quality when i hit fullscreen but it can't buffer anyway near fast enough to play properly so i've been manually switching it to 480 or even 360 just to get it to play, and that's not always trouble free. I'm on 50mb which doesn't really make any difference since 10mb should cope with that no problem, the question is, is this a problem with Youtubes capacity or somewhere in between VM and youtube? I don't know if customers on other ISP's are having the same problems.

Yup still poor, been getting full speed downloads and speedtests. So it must be something either Youtubes end or Virgins.
