Anybody finding YouTube slow?

I'm stuck on a Tiscali link until my flat is completed over the next few weeks and the hassle of moving begins, yet over the past week or two I've noticed that YouTube appears to have gotten incredibly slow. No other community video sites have this problem and others I know with different ISPs seem to be having no problems, yet on Tiscali it’s slow.

The cynical side of me wonders if Tiscali has deliberately throttled network traffic to YouTube, making even short videos incredibly slow to stream over a fast connection. So, is anybody else seeing this on other ISP's or is it just me?
 
Fast.co.uk mentioned that some of their customers had reported similar problems, so it may not be a Tiscali specific issue. Still, ironically this morning the clips seem to be downloading at a slightly faster pace again, so I'll wait to see if they slow down during peak times later.
