YouTube Down
by Allen Stern on February 24th, 2008
FYI, it appears that YouTube is down. Please check our post from the last time YouTube was down with a variety of alternative suggestions. We will keep updating this post as we learn more and please report in if it’s down where you are as well.
The first reports via e-mail and comments came in about eight hours ago on the outage. I was unable to confirm at that time, but can confirm now.
- Sunday 2:30 Eastern – still down.
- Sunday 5:45 Eastern – BBC News is reporting that, "the outage was almost certainly connected to Pakistan Telecom and Asian internet service provider PCCW."
Alternative video hosting/viewing sites:
Been down for about 2 hours.
…in the North-West UK, although I was on YT this afternoon and worked perfect, it’s coming up with the error page now.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence why youtube is down. Just last night that video of Larry Sinclair, and Barack Obama got REAL POPULAR! Basically overnight it had 1/2 million hits!
Since youtube is obviously Pro-Obama I don’t think they want it to get out before tonight’s debate. If you guys think i’m kidding go to WhiteHouse.com Larry Sinclair has already passed a polygraph, and drug test!

At least in Florida. As of 4:10 Eastern, I tried again and it suddenly came right up. Home page, my channel, everything, as if nothing had happened. Whether it stays up remains to be seen.
Still wondering what happened.
It’s back on here in the UK too, as of 9:27pm GMT.
New England, YT is down 4-7-08 11:28 EST
It comes up where I live, but you can’t watch many of the videos or do other things – for example, I can’t add a video as a favorite. I also can’t log out.
I live in the Southeastern US.
Down in Italy too…
Maybe it’s down because of Pakistan Telecom operations on DNS.
It’s down in Mexico.
SF Bay Area. Down.
Youtube is also down in Chile and y some parts of Latin American and Europe (as many twitters say to me).
yeah its down in the uk too.
It’s down here too, as of 3:15 Eastern. I’ve been trying to get on since 1 PM. “Server is unavailable.”
Its down in Pakistan too!
Its down in Pakistan too!
Germany / EU down too – 9:20 pm
