    Thumbs down Youtube is the slowest website on the internet

    YouTube for me is the slowest website on the internet so far that i have seen this month - I have a 20meg broadband and all the other website are ultra quick. It takes in excess of 2 mins to search for a video and the same to actually watch the damn thing. Is it slow for any other people.?

    For me Youtube is nice and fast, and I've only got a max of 1.5 megabits per second.

    Re: Youtube is the slowest website on the internet

    I only have 7.1Mbps DSL at my house, that's going to be going to some Fiber optic, but YouTube is loading up pretty quick. Sure, around the afternoon and nights when those big corporate T3s and fast internet lines are tearing at their servers they make take a minute to load or to do a search, but they've been loading very quickly lately. Before Google bought YouTube, they were very slow, half of the time I'd have to let the video have 2 minutes to even buffer enough for me to watch it without a stop. But that doesn't happen any more, and I can even use the &fmt=18 trick to get higher quality videos and it doesn't take a dump at all.

    I'd say run a trace route to YouTube if they're slow. It may show where the slowness is occurring if it isn't their servers.

    Somebody misread their broadband speeds I think. Check your actual speed via http://speedtest.net

    I know mine is correct, as Speakeasy.net is saying 7,200kbps on the download, and I know what package I have.

    YouTube is very slow for me as well (on searching) I loads about the same speed as most other website but when I search it is as if I have not pressed anything and takes a couple of minutes to do anything.

    YouTube works fine for me, and this is on NZ broadband (which isn't even fibre-optic).

    That is a very bad sign for you, that may be because of some sort of error with your computer cuz youtube is well know for its speed that many other video sites cant compete with
