Youtube has been acting up lately. I sometimes get no buffer bar at all and constant spinner loading, and I am on a 60+mb connection.

 

Sometimes changing quality can force a buffer, but as long as your speedtest results are on par then it is not on your side.

There was a way to bypass youtube's buffer limit by blocking a specific range of IP's which forced the video to load directly from google's servers at full speed. But with the new youtube layout they have blocked the work around and I dont think a new one has been found yet. But like Puck said, it seems to be hit or miss as to weather youtube will load properly. I have 30+mb connection and I have the re-load the page sometimes to get the buffer to start loading.

Its been hosed for me as well so most likely its not your system or connection. BTW Im on FIOS.

I think Google are meant to be upgrading their servers or something at the moment to better cope with large volumes of traffic.

Problem with Google. It's the not the problem with you. They are upgrading or doing something which si creating the problems. I'm on a 30+ line and sometimes 720p and 1080p videos buffer at the start and I can't do anything about it.
