Is YouTube having problems in buffering?

Is it me or are some YouTube videos, even under a minute length videos, not buffering fast or just stops as of last night and this morning? I tried Firefox, SeaMonkey, and old IE6. It doesn't matter if it was embedded or directly on YouTube.com.

Thank you in advance.

I get that sometimes- my theory is that it's just hitting a particularly slow server.


Have you ever noticed that if you re-load the vid on a a machine with a diff IP the buffering performance is entirely different? I have my work laptop on a VPN, hence going through an entirely different set of connections on top of my own, and often I find that a video that buffers slow from my network is fast on theirs. I'd guess that their load balancer(non-existent nerd word) just popped you onto a shitty server.

... either that or there are layer 3 gnomes in the youtube series of tubes.
