I haven't got the faintest idea what happened, but since about 3-4 days now I can't play any clips on YouTube properly at all.

Proper as in continuously without loading, pause, playback, pause, loading, playback, pause, loading, playback, etc.

I haven't changed anything hardware nor software-wise. On the other hand I can play Break.com, Viddler, Liveleak, Metacafe without any trouble. I tried my own tips, but that hasn't helped me at all.

What on earth happend? Is it me, or is it YouTube? I'm using Firefox 3.6 Beta 5. But the issue is the same on Chrome as well as on Internet Explorer.
