    YouTube videos suddenly buffer slow
    Hello.

    This Friday, videos on YouTube started buffering slower than usual for me. I couldn't, and still can't, watch a video without several pauses where it needed to buffer.
    I have cleared my internet files with CCleaner, I got the latest Firefox (Same problem in IE), I have a 10mb internet connection (8mb effectively).

    I have a quad-core PC, decent graphics, 4gb ram from the start of the year. And I have no problems running games like Assassins Creed and Call of Duty 4.
    So I don't really understand how that can be.
    Anyone have any idea why this is?

    Anything is highly appreciated!

    Your wifi connection probably is not working as good as it should, or maybe you have low disk space?

    It must be something wrong with the internet connection

    I have over 400gb of free disk space, so that shouldn't be a problem.
    And my PC is connected through an ethernet cable.
    When I download stuff I get up to 1 megabyte/s, so I know that the connection to my PC is all right. Something just cracks up with this YouTube :/

    Ok. So I just tried Youtube on my iPod Touch, and it has the same problem. But I still record 8mbi Internet when I use a speedtest. What's happening?

    Weird - the problem seems to have gone away now.
    Oh well, why complain!

    Cheers.
