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

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

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...
