HD videos lagged for a bit a couple of days ago, but it solved itself somehow. Apparently, youtube has to update their servers from time to time, causing a slowdown. Basically, all you have to do is wait.

I've got 54 Mbit/s, by the way :P

I usually don't have problems on my PC (occasionally do) but I always have problems on my iPad, especially if I'm using AirPlay.

I often have problems as well, it just seems the new youtube is really crappy. I can't pause it and wait for it to load to completion because it doesn't allow that for some reason. Only loads a few seconds when paused.

It eases the load on their servers a lot. They seem to assume that everyone has fast enough internet that it shouldn't be a problem anymore.

I haven't had it personally, but have you tried clearing your cache and all of that?
