Yeah, slow internet it sounds like. It does it a lot depending on what computers I use where.

10MB broadband gives you a download speed of 1200KB/s (roughly). Subtract 365KB/s away from that gives you 835 KB/s bandwidth to load your video up, so it would work fine.
3MB Broadband gives you a download speed of roughly 380 KB/S. Subtract the 365 KB/s and your not left with much at all, this likely explains why youtube is not loading.
Its notoriously worse than the other sites though and is pretty bandwidth hungry.

it didnt use to be like this tho which means they must be trying to drive up the download speed , heck I use to watch it on .5mb broadband about 2 years ago.

All I know is youtube is dropping quality, fast too. I hate all the advertising, but even more WDM stripping audio from my videos and taking some down completely.
