Is youtube lagging for anyone else?

[Roon]

I used to be all over that site and click videos at random and it would just play,no problem. Now the videos lag for me. Is it me or youtube?

1. No problems . . . thus far! (eom)

[Roon]

2. Oh crap,

I probably need to powercycle my modem but the modem is way down stairs. I'll do it tomorrow. Thanks for checking for me! :hi:

12. I spoke too soon! It's momentarily freezing up today.

:argh:

3. I replied to a similar question a couple of days ago. Only one other person besides

the OP reported having trouble, but I have for weeks. It'll play a video and then won't play the same one on the next try, or vice versa etc...

[Roon]

4. Yes, same here.

I moved upstairs recently and I am feeding off my modem in my old place. I am sure once I go down and reboot the modem it will make this icky lag go away.

5. Mr. low tech doofus replying here--by rebooting the modem, is that just unplugging

the modem and then plugging back in? Gonna try that now....it's really been annoying. Among the other things I couldn't get on you tube last night was Olbermann but at least someone posted the direct MSNBC link and watched it on that.

6. Unplugged and replugged in --still doing it. Damn.......

or is it something else you meant about rebooting the modem? But I do wonder what has been going on with you tube, since I know of at least 3 or 4 other DUers that have reported problems in recent weeks. One of my friends suggested that maybe it's just high user volume, and you tube can't handle it all, but I don't know. The volume can't have made that sudden a jump; I had never had this kind of problem till a few weeks ago...

8. Didn't work for me either

Maybe it's the parts of the country we are in that is bottlenecking youtube. I have no idea, all my other sites including other video sites load without a problem.

7. I've been having problems with Youtube the past few weeks.

Videos used to download with no problems. Now they'll load for about 15-30 seconds at a time, then freeze.

I don't know what's up.

[Roon]

9. Ah! That's three of us now!

Thanks for checking in Tommy.

10. Actually it was Tommy C. I was referring to , when I said I'd replied to another OP about this

I thought maybe it was local, since the only other person to reply to that thread and was also having problems was also in New Mexico, and I actually posted this question in the NM forum, but the 2 people that replied had no trouble ( both were in SE NM). You're in Denver I see, so still I-25 corridor, but Tommy is somewhere out east I think (?). Mine doesn't freeze; it just either will or won't load a video, period, but no pattern to it; the same one will play just fine one time, and then won't the next 5 times I try it, then work again. Sometimes vice versa, and some just won't play at all...

[Roon]

11. That's exactly what I am going through right now

i am forced to buffer the whole clip before I play it to get a smooth playback.
