YouTube speed?

Just wondered if anyone else has noticed a "slow down" in loading YT pages, and YT videos.

I remember when the YT pages would load in under a second, and the videos played almost immediately after hitting the Play arrow. Now over half the ones I've watched in the last several months take a few seconds to start, then after a minute or two, I get the spinning icon for buffering.

My internet download speed (speedtest.net) shows the same I've had all year. Thanks.

Thanks gents. I'm wondering if YT is doing this to try to push us to their $11.99/mo Premium service?
 
I might if it meant longer vidoes didn't now stop in the middl to run another ad.. But it does show they are finding they can no longer ignore the market forces looking for money to pay bills and profit.
