Is anyone else having problems with YouTube videos loading slow? If I play a video in anything other then 360, even at 480p, it pauses every 15-20 seconds and has to load! Watching a 5 minute 720p video takes a good 15 min! I'm not sure what's causing it. I have tried IE and FF with no luck. My internet speed is good at about 30Mbps and have not had any issues downloading other content.
YouTube always buffering?

YouTube is becoming useless. Press play, play for 20 seconds, hit brick wall, buffer, play for five seconds, hit brick wall, repeat.

Really? Do you even watch Youtube? 50% of the videos have commercials at the start now.

Adblock plus blocks all youtube ads, as I never seen one with Adblock on.
youtube was slow today, they really need to improve their infrastructure

boooo ya
that would be why
however opera didn't always have adblock and i never saw them before.
most likely because of host file blacklisting

I've had problems for years. Even with a 10mbps cable connection going through every high end router of recent years, currently a Linksys E4200, you would think could handle a 720P video. Nope, buffer city. It has gotten better in the last week or so. The videos look different with the bottom bar black and it's working a whole lot better. Don't know what they changed but it works pretty good.

Some of the problems with youtube are provider related. For the longest time, I knew it couldn't be youtube related. I could load videos on another connection or even my phone faster than I could on a home network, which kept stuttering, pausing, or never loading. It was fine before one day this symptom started happening and toiled for several months.
Started searching around, found out that Verizon (FIOS specifically) had a network issue with youtube that they were trying to fix for several months. Eventually, it was fixed. Found the post on dslreports detailing the problem and it was extraneous of my home network. I suggest you should research and do the same.

what is the point of the buffering bar if it has to buffer before it reaches the end of the bar... never understood that about youtube.
