Slow video buffering (YouTube)

Still getting the occasional error :( so I am jealous.

Please disregard my previous post.

Youtube vids are watchable again. 100 cheers for Mel:)
I even had 5 seperate vids buffering at once (all 720p and all longer than 15 minutes) and they all played with no issues and without the dreaded error message popping up.

*buffer**buffer*And *buffer* we're *buffer* back *buffer* to the *buffer* old *buffer* trick *buffer* again.
 
this isn't just youtube, metacafe is also stuttering, I presume it's all streaming content...Trying to learn a new program through online tuts with 2 min loading time for 30sec of low quality video and can't download. I don't get error messages, just excessive loading time. on DL about 0.9kb/s for a few minutes before it fails.
 
I am curious as to how they do this. How do they isolate one part such as video streaming data and cap that?

If one was behind a private proxy can one by-pass it? Or do they cap people on private proxies as well?
 
So now all 360p videos do not play AT ALL. Have to play all videos at 240p... Fascinating...

Edit: Now no videos play at all... How does iBurst even get it to not work?!

Edit2: Videos try to play off o-o.preferred.tenet-cpt1.v10.lscache4.c.youtube.com or a variant - somewhere there is something not lekker there. As soon as I switch quality enough so that it downloads from something like v23.nonxt8.c.youtube.com it works.

Okay. Videos seem to be downloading again, even via TENET. Speeds still slow... Sub 20KB/s (let's hope this post didn't jinx it)

For me it is: play for a bit, buffering, play for a bit, buffering, play for a bit, buffering...
 
The official line is that all their problems have been solved.

I suspect that the truth is more along the lines of they have it sort of working for the majority and they're now trying to fix problems on a case by case basis. :(

Touch wood, as of late yesterday, youtube seems to be working for me again.

Where did you hear that?

I thought we were still waiting for this:

Been attempting to kick in GGC for local servers the whole week without success. I suspect the final solution would come next month when we will do a local national backhaul transit to Google at CINX.

Yup, still the same problems and there's been no follow up post in this thread, makes me think the work has not been completed.
