Youtube videos taking longer to buffer?

I don't know if I'm imagining this, or if something odd is going on, but watching youtube videos has been a nightmare for me for a few days now. Loading a 4 minute video probably takes 10 minutes, more even. That's ridiculous. Anyone else experiencing this slow down?

Yes. To the point where an hour later, the video has not loaded.

Yes, same here. ALL internet videos are taking forever to load, even the bad quality vids that are suppose to be quick.

Great, so it's not just me. Any idea what's causing this? I've been trying different things, but nothing's helping. Even tried running through a proxy, still no joy
