Hi guys, I was wondering whether anyone else has noticed that sites like youtube have become quite slow. I have Woosh wired (ADSL2+) and it takes over 5 minutes to load a low-quality 3 minute video. This means you have a wait a few minutes before you can watch a video, which reminds me of what the internet was like back in the days of jetstart or dialup!

I will post some download speeds and tracerts when I get home, in case they show anything up, but really was just trying to work out whether it is just me, or Woosh's problem.

It seems to be an intermittent problem, getting worse later in the evening. At the moment (5:30pm) I can watch a low-quality video ok, because it downloads just fast enough to avoid continuously pausing for buffering.

I've also noticed that my speeds have dropped, and my ping is sky-high.

Does anyone have any ideas? Sounds similar to the the problems people were having with Telstra...
