Hi there

Both at my half brother's house and here sometimes when we load a youtube video we get 'An error occurred, please try again later.' Any ad preceding the video loads and plays, and a refresh of the page loads the video. This is happening on both my desktop (ethernet to router) and laptop (wireless), and desktop (ethernet) at my half brother's house. Both houses are on cable in Lower Hutt.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Is it specific to Vodafone, or a wide range of ISP's? Problem with Youtube perhaps?

The tracert performed on my laptop just now to youtube.com gives the following:
