I have Optik tv/internet.
http://Speedtest.net shows download currently at 15mbps, so my connection to Telus is good.
But Youtube is so slow I can hardly watch anything - takes a few seconds for first image to appear... 10-15 seconds before it plays... buffers after a few seconds.
Any ideas?

Ever since Google radically altered YouTube's content distribution network, YouTube has been having problems for users all over the planet. The odd time it may work ok, but usually there will be a few issues that arise.

There are apparently other people having troubles with youtube today, so I'll wait a bit. Sometimes it is fine, and sometimes it is slow.

edit: Telus is apparently aware of the problem.
