This was recently posted to a mailing list I'm on from the UK. I'd laugh it off, but I've been seeing the same thing here in NYC on my Verizon DSL - a lot of the time I''m only getting around 200kpbs out of YouTube while speedtest shows I have 3mbps. Any comments? j ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: (a uk user) For several days now I have found it impossible to view anything on You Tube properly. A few seconds & then it freezes, starts again, then freezes & so on & 0n. It's like the bad old days of "dial up" but I have had Broadband for some years & not had this problem for ages. Any advise , anybody , please ?

No, that has to do with wireless users, not DSL. Wireless is an entirely different part of the Verizon empire. William
This is only in the last week or so. What might be a possibility is that YouTube is actually choking under the demand for Egypt related footage, nearly all of which is hosted on the site. j On Thu, Feb 3, 2011 at 11:13 PM, William Pitcock <nenolod@systeminplace.net>wrote:

The overall bandwith utilization from Oklahoma has spiked due to the snow. I'm sure other ISPs are seeing similar issues where people aren't able to get out. The first day, we hit our usual peak high at 10am, and up she went. Jack
