    Same here, I find after a few reloads of the browser the video may load normally, not always.:mad:

    This now has become a joke - I'm on the 150mb package & can't get any video working today.

    Have you posted in the UPC forum? It has been raised there before.

    Works fine for me too. This seems to be exclusive to UPC for some reason and no other ISP.

    To those who are having the issue is it exclusively to YouTube? Does other video streaming sites like Netflix, RTE Player work OK? As I suggested before in other postings check the following to be sure.

    1. That your Adobe Flash & Shockwave players are up to date.
    2. That DirectX and Windows up to date?

    If they are and had no success have you provided feedback to Google about it.

    all other vid streaming sites work perfectly for me on UPC, it's just Youtube that's problematic, this has been going on a long time now, all my adobe and windows updates are latest versions.

    Can someone post a link to the UPC forum, please?

    (And, strangely [or perhaps unsurprisingly] I'm having an issue logging into MyUPC on my UPC connection - it appears to be timing out... when I did get it, loading various pages is slooooowwww)
