anyone else having youtube problems?

[andrewjs18]

been having issues with youtube the past few days where videos won't play...it'll act like it's loading then display this error:

error encountered. please try again later.

it happens on most videos...whether IE, Opera or Firefox.

edit-now youtube.com isn't even loading for me.

It's working for me on my iPhone. I will Check my PC.

Working fine bud. I just checked all my subscription updates.

I have been having the same issues for the the last few days, myself, although it seems sporadic, where some videos will load but others give the same error (which seems like some sort of timeout since it takes forever). I have tried using both my normal Comcast-supplied DNS servers and the OpenDNS servers, both delivering the same results.

haha..this is my EXACT problem.

some videos work, some don't.

I'm on Comcast and also use openDNS. LOL

my speeds are fine...I tested last night..like 17Mbps/6Mbps.

Speeds are fine here, as well. (21 Mb/s downstream and 3 Mb/s upstream average according to Speedtest.net.)

Just out of curiosity, have you noticed any timeout issues with Google Maps or any other Google services? I have had Google Maps (as well as services that piggyback on Google Maps, such as Weather Underground’s WunderMap) take forever and timeout, as well.

All that said, right now seems to be good. YouTube and Google Maps are not showing any issues for me.

i just switched to comcast last week, and youtube is giving me problems too. how do you guys check for speed?

Im no network genius but it seems odd that a single providor would be having problems.
We are through frontier telephone with DSL and ive been uploading videos to YouTube and watching for hours.
Is it all cleared up now

21200 kbps (down) 3498 kbps (up) is that good ?

21200 kbps (down) 3498 kbps (up) is that good ?

That is 21.2 Mbit/s downstream and 3.5 Mbit/s upstream. (1 Mbit/s is equal to either 1,000 Kbit/s or 1,024 Kbit/s, depending on whether the context is in decimal or binary.)

Those speeds are about the same as mine.


I figure results like those aren’t bad for their Performance package that lists download speeds up to 12 Mbit/s downstream and 2 Mbit/s upstream with their PowerBoost.

Meanwhile, on the YouTube/Google Maps front, things are still !@#$ed up.
