I am not sure if that would work, but it would be great if you wouldn't mind try. I am going to see if I can find the right IPs.

Awesome! Thanks

In this case, only Youtube is being affected, any other speed or latency issues would still be indicative of a line or Exchange issue.

Thanks for the clarification

Found these off of the old locallist thread:
Google IP: 196.23.168.147
YouTube: 196.23.168.144

These are local. Gonna try them out if anyone else wants to.

EDIT: Yup works.

Wow! Thanks! Are you seeing an improvement in performance by configuring those on your Localhost?

Yep. Can watch 720p again. ~4000kbps in stats for nerds. Making a guide on the forum now.

Thanks for posting!

Just a note guys, this is definitely only a temporary issue with the lack of Youtube performance, so please do not feel obligated to use the above steps, and please only take the above steps if you are confident that you will not break something on your side.

It's not just Youtube. Streetview, Google Music, all the services are affected by this.

 

[PurSpyk!!]

Still only getting half my International speed, what is going on??

 

[giggity]

It's not just Youtube. Streetview, Google Music, all the services are affected by this.

The fix I posted should incorporate all Google services. If not, add this:

196.23.168.147 www.google.com
196.23.168.147 google.com

Thanks AfriGenie. I know you made a change on something.
About 15 minutes back, there was a huge change on the download speeds. All of a sudden I can get 180kb/s
So what ever your tech team did, thank them from my side. Means one complaint less from the fiancee tonight (I hope)

Glad it's worked! We'll continue pushing on with a permanent fix though

 

[PieterR]

Confirmed, running silky smooth right now.
Thanks to everybody involved in finding a fix.

MTN Google Cache is on the following IP Range 66.8.14.1 - 66.8.14.254 or 66.8.14.0/24

Which is now working! YouTube streaming one way this side....

The following is the IS Google Cache, not MTN

196.23.168.147 www.google.com
196.23.168.147 google.com

Yeah I used the IS cache since I thought that the MTN cache was what was being improperly routed to international.

So is it working now without the temporary fix?
EDIT: Oh okay it isn't. I'll try out those servers and see if they are better
EDIT2: It's about the same. Updating the thread.

Yebo yes.... YouTube is routing to the local cache again

Strange. Mine still directs to international without the hosts modification. (74.125.233.0 for youtube and 74.125.233.3 for google)
