Is it my connection throttling or have youtube seriously capped their download speed?

for even a short 1m 30s video it takes more than 5mins to fully download, makes youtube pretty much unuseable.

Ive only got a 1mbit line but I allways get 120kbps download on utorrent/limewire and general downloads.

Still on Tiscali?   if not and have move to O2 then its the Speedtouch thing, all my problems magically vanished when i swapped the router out.  

yeah still with Tiscali.

Its really slow for me tonight.

Perhaps you used it at peak time. About 8pm and everyone and their dog is on there.

Nah I know what he means. 3am the other day and I couldnt get speeds good enough to watch things. Gave up in the end. *mb connection was running flawlessly too.
