Its driving me crazy now. I thought it might just be youtubes servers or something but now its happened for a week+. The videos will buffer for 5 seconds, freeze, buffer 5 seconds, freeze, 5 seconds, freeze, and sometimes they just don't buffer at all. Ive resorted to watching 240p on a 6mb/s internet connection. (1mb/s up). Why is this happening? If someone could help me fix this is would make my day.
I used to have bad youtube buffer issues, I dont know if it's connected but I haven't noticed any recently since switching to the html5 youtube - YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.
By freezing are you referring to the tab freezing or the streaming being interrupted? If it's streaming I remember similar issues were being experienced where I live by people who used a particular ISP, could be a connection issue on their side I guess if that's the case. Have you tried a different browser just to rule out the browser being the cause?
I doubt flash would cause any problems with streaming and you already have the latest WHQL. Give this a shot, try watching any youtube vid through a proxy or Tor browser.
Try it with the flash 11 Beta. If you do try it though, uninstall any other versions before.
