Hi

My youtube buffers for around 15 seconds before playing a video, earlier it was buffering for minutes, not sure if there are any issues with webafrica or youtube currently, anoyone experiencing the same thing?
 
have been having the similar issue with youtube, plays for 9 seconds then buffers permanently, googleplay can't connect to download any app.

all other apps, browsing and streaming is perfect.
 
Also been having issues today where opening a new video it would just buffer. Refresh page seems to load it. Openserve Afrihost.
 
Made the mistake of trying to restart my router, now my fiber went down, was working before the restart, with the exception of YouTube and Google play store.

Google play store seems to be working on MTN 3g though
 
Is this going to be the official thread for the YouTube/play store issues?

Nah Google is aware of it so once resolved everything should return to normal.
 
If this helps Youtube on my Afrihost on Openserve is stellar. I know it depends on many things, just saying.
 
Having this too on openserve afrihost when fresh video loading buffers with zero bandwidth usage. But this is not GGC traffic capacity issue.

Is this not an IPv4 versus IPv6 issue?

By the way do you have any idea when Google will start to serve their servers from the Equiano cable, or is that basically what is happening now?

Not sure but I don't think it was live yet. Would be interesting to know
