Youtube slow

[Rik]

No problems here on a 3.5M line. Sounds like exchange congestion to me.

Try my test, start the clip, save the URL, close the browser and then go back to it.

Ok update:

failed to buffer, restarted browser (chrome) and its now playing... though again, still not as fast as i would expect a 5Mbps line to be

Same behaviour in Firefox?

Plays fine for me, but does he have to shout so much?

I would not worry much about the load speed Gaz as remember that YT is very popular so its likely to vary based on many factors.

Main thing is on a second visit it plays from a UK based host machine so works better.

Playing instantly from here now, as long as it loads thats all that matters really.
