Hi,

 

Having bad YouTube performance - YouTube channels fail to load, the front page takes too long to load, when do a trace route this occurs:

Looks like a routing fault to me.

 

 

Presumably it's cleared up?

I'm on bigpipe and had a few hiccups with youtube failing to load a couple of days ago.

 

It came right after a short time. I hadnt got around to troubleshooting or complaining (was using DNS4ME.net).

 

Were you using bigpipe dns?

That's no good. I'm going to raise this with the networking team and see if there is a wider problem. In the meantime, could you lodge a support ticket with our team at our website? We usually get really good speeds to YouTube - in fact, even our ADSL is HD verified by Google/YouTube themselves.

Hey @JoshBigpipe -

 

Seeing quite a few issues tonight with videos stalling + dropping to 144p. This seems to be affecting Spark (here) so hopefully once they're fixed up BigPipe should be working again (fingers crossed!).

 

For now, my workaround is routing YouTube traffic via dns4me (I don't use their DNS just FYI - only hosts file).

I've been getting terrible Youtube performance on Big Pipe for the last couple of weeks, now I know it's not just me!

 

Even tonight the flatmates are streaming Netflix no worries and everything else works fine but Youtube keeps cutting out completely mid-stream.

 

From the looks of this and the Spark thread, the issue should be fixed within a few days?
