Hey guys, I started noticing some unusual youtube behavior yesterday at home, the internet works fine and browsing/dling is fine, but when I try to stream something on youtube, it streams a bit then just freezes with the buffering sign. Reminds me of trying to watch youtube on Lebanese internet 3 years ago.
I came to work this morning and tried a few videos, it's doing the same thing (also ogero here at work). Anyone have any ideas about what could be going on?

Yea I've noticed this recently, I normally can watch videos @ 480p without buffering, but now sometimes the video just stops with buffering sign and refuses to continue even though my connection is perfectly fine.

I can stream 720p on my 2mbps Ogero connection, YouTube is functioning properly lately.
I've noticed that the bitrate of the same resolution varies widely between videos, there's some video that needs to buffer every 5 seconds on 720p. All 480p works flawlessly.

Strange. I have the 4mb connection at home and at work. Something's fishy.
Update: Seems as though things are working normally again. Guess it was just a fluke.

I've noticed some strange behavior with videos once, we have two connections at home, one Sodetel and one Ogero, and strange things happen on the Sodetel connection, with videos, I've put it down to some messed-up buffering they're doing transparently on a proxy.
Hope this helps.

Same here. If I click on Stats for nerds on the video, it shows that it's downloading at half my speed. Once I called Cyberia support to ask about this issue, they told me if the video doesn't need 1 Mbps it won't download at 1 Mbps. LOL, as if this made any sense. :/

I've also experienced this issue. It happens rarely however. Usually refreshing the page will load the video normally.
