I seem to be having issues on watching youtube videos, on different machines and different browsers. I watch some of the clip fine and then I get a black screen and an error saying that this video is currently unavailable. It seems worst on Chrome and less bad on Firefox.

Anyone else experiencing this?
 
Who is your iSP?

I have seen this before on both Afrihost & Ti with which i am currently with Ti and seen it 2 or 3 times. I usually just refresh or download the video locally though. I think it may have something to do with our cache servers but not entirely sure.

Post the video here for others to try aswell. :)

Youtube is broken and has been for a long time. Didn't realise it was such a big issue O_O.

Read more on NeoGaf

No official info but users from around the world no doubt have complained as can be seen.
 
I also get the same problem, but only when I use my Cell C 3G internet, and the signal is strong, getting 700kb/s on torrents also at that time. I don't get this issue when I use ADSL.

I just download the YouTube video and watch it later now. That works for me now.
