youtube.com enormous load time, in any browser!

Can someone explain to me why I all of a sudden have tremendous problems loading youtube and when loaded it doesn't look like all the css-files are fully loaded.
When trying to watch a video, nothing happens.

This happens in both Safari, FireFox and Opera.

Other videoflash sites work fine... Ideas or help?

try reseting safari or update your flash player. the newest version of flash player for mac is 9,0,47,0. to check your current version goto http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/

I updated, and nothing.
I tried using another user account and the same thing happens.

How do I go about uninstalling Flash?

[richard.mac]

use the uninstaller in the flash player installer… or if it doesnt have one delete these in /library/internet plug-ins/

- flashplayer.xpt
- Flash Player.plugin

Ok, flash has nothing to do with it. I uninstalled it, logged out and in and youtube still doesn't load, not even after installing flash again.
This makes no sense. It works fine in Windows.

Wow. Apparently this is only an issue at home. School works fine. Craptastic. Any explanation for this?

Update: apparently it works fine when I am connected to my University through VPN. I guess it must be a problem with my internet provider. Morons.
