Youtube is sickeningly slow for me.....

For unknown reasons, Youtube has been a nightmare since it updated its UI, i cannot even convince my internet to load 3 minute. low quality videos with any sort of speed. Lately, the Youtube Iphone App has been more effective for watching videos than the actual site. Thank God all of Giant Bomb's content loads beautifully for me.

 
Im using IE8, maybe thats the issue? Is anyone else having problems?

Do people get PM's when you quote them yet?

yeah I have been having issues for a few weeks now.

Well the only thing that seemed to work for me is to update the version of flash that I had.  Although I'm using Firefox 3.6 YT has been very slow for me until recently.

same here

I thought it was just my computer and a sign that I need to finally get a new one.

Same here. Videos taking mass amount of time to buffer so I leave the browser and tabs open. Youtube is progressively becoming worse....

I'm not sure why there is even a thread about this, and even more puzzled as to why it was just bumped after nearly three days of inactivity.
