Throw your hands up in the air and hope someone at Google eventually notices. Been seeing bad behaviors from Youtube since probably December, and it's just gotten worse. Had a video just stop earlier today at work, even though the entire video showed loaded in the player. Rewound, and it just kept stopping at the exact same point. Tried to fast forward and it tanked, forcing me to reload.

Most of my initial problems started when I was using an iOS device tapping into the H.264 in .MP4 container versions. It's slowly spread to the web Flash and HTML 5 players too.

Bandwidth at home is rated at 50mbit, and at work at 100mbit, so it's definitely not a bandwidth constraint on my side. Only thing I can figure is the edge servers are either overloaded, or not pulling the video in quick enough from the core storage that holds all the YouTube videos.
