Is anyone else experiencing extremely slow Youtube video buffering? I'm on VM and it varies between videos but some are loading at <200k but none seem to be loading at pretty much max 60Mb of my connection like they were a week or two back.
Over on VM forums, some seem to be saying it's to do with VM's caching servers but I'm not convinced; the particularly slow ones seem to be served by US IP addresses, for example 64.15.115.19 but the last octet varies.
I'm wondering if this is affecting other ISPs too, as it could be somehow related to hurricane Sandy; lots of transatlantic cables terminate in NY and there are lots of datacentres there. I still need to do a bit more research to see if its affecting any US sites besides Youtube.
