YouTube is still not working

Hello,

Anyone know anything about YouTube not working? 2nd week or so of this. I Constantly check speedtest.net, I constantly ping google and youtube and everything seems to be working. Not even the commercials on YouTube play smooth. I get 15 seconds in and the video stops. I have to keep reloading the page. So a 5 minute video takes 20+ minutes to watch...

Online gamming and Netflix work fine, just YouTube.

Please help!

This problem is true for all hard wired devices and wireless devices.

I'm having the same issue. I wonder if many other Verizon customers are having the same issue!

All Ok here, 3/1 Mb/s plan (lowest tier) AFA settings I always use the default - auto. for example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hc16Y9fiCvQ Also I am in S/E Pennsylvania; and use a VPN 99% of the time. I do not think this is a Verizon issue, it also works fine for me if i bypass the VPN.

Are your Flash players up to date? My guess is your issues stem from heavy traffic.

Here are some other suggestions: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topicsearchin/youtube/youtube$20is$20choppy%7Csort:relevance/youtube/CPW7r7OY5Co

Tons and I mean tons have the same issue. This page explains it well. It talks about Netflix, but also applies to youtube. Its not just a Verizon issue either.
