YouTube isn't loading

[Azimuth-1]

Uh, YouTube isn't loading. That's about it.

 

[GreatBigMouth]

It does, but the video only starts playing once it has buffered to 100%.

Hi guys.

Is there a wide spread issue with YouTube?

 

[Azimuth-1]

It does, but the video only starts playing once it has buffered to 100%.

Not for me. The video doesn't even start loading for me. Once all the formatting and surrounding content has loaded, that's it. No more data transfer.

It's working fine on my side. Which area are you in?

Just a suggestion:

Switch off modem, delete your %TEMP% files, prefetch files and Temporary internet files, cookies etc...

Restart PC and see if that helps.

 

[Azimuth-1]

No difference.

I'm in Cape Town, southern suburbs.

I think this is a bigger problem than just getting to youtube, I can't get to any ac.za web sites

the ones I've tried so far

www.uct.ac.za
www.uj.ac.za
www.wits.ac.za
www.tenet.ac.za
www.saao.ac.za

I'm in cape town, southern suburbs as well

 

[Azimuth-1]

Oh, those won't load for me either.

I'm in PE, just tested those sites you linked and Youtube. They are fine for me.. Seems like it's a CT problem?

*edit* nevermind. Didn't see it was under the iBurst section

Yup. On ADSL they load 100% and quick.
Switched to iBorat and no go.

"504 Gateway Timeout

I have requested another check on the Cape issue.

Is there still a problem this morning?


Please let me know.

Thanks

Good morning Shaun,

Nope, Youtube not working on my side. (Koelenhof, Cape Town).
It takes VERY long to load and then when it does load, just some of the text and some of the pics load and the site's formatting is completely messed up.

Regards,

Rudi

A 3minute youtube song with no image or video takes about 10 -15 mins to load.

reminds me of the old 56k dial up days , mind you I think a 56k connection right now would be better.

Shaun any word on the fix ?

Just phoned the helpdesk to get a status report on my call I logged about not being able to browse ac.za websites and was just told that their systems are down again, which was the same excuse I got yesterday.
