It's frustrating. It usually goes through the following stages: -

1. Ignoring people.
2. Denial ("it's your PC!", "it's your browser settings!" etc.).
3. Acceptance.
4. Apologising.

Sadly, steps 1 and 2 can sometimes go on for weeks.

I posted on VM's Facebook page with info on the issue, as well as a link to the video I made that shows the problem. I told them that a bunch of affected users had posted on VM's forums, but nobody had replied. They told me to post on VM's forum and someone will reply - it's like they didn't even read what I said.

Their initial Youtube CDN buffering issue went on for months before they got past step 2

Or they're doing the same as you, going 'Well it works for me!'

Simplest way for Windows users, that does not require installation any software, plugins, or add-ons, is to open Task Manager and go to Resource Monitor.

Look under Network Activity, sort by Total Bytes/sec and find the highest entry for your web browser when watching a video.

It's messed up Google Play on my phone too, when connected via Wi-Fi. I tried to update a bunch of apps and some of the updates wouldn't download - they wouldn't even start. I tried a bunch of times, but they just wouldn't work. I switched to 3G instead and the updates all downloaded just fine.

Someone on Virgin's forum (not a VM employee) posted and said that they're aware of this issue and that it'll be fixed in 24-48 hours, but they didn't post a source for that statement.

I have also had big issues with Youtube in South Wales

Sounds like a broken GGC node again...
