> Shouldn't that affect *all* traffic, not just YouTube?
Example: Orange (aka France Telecom aka Suicide Alley) had a falling out
with Cogent, who provides transit from the US to them. Result: until their
little quarrel is resolved, Cogent is throttling the tubes(1) so watching
YouTube or downloading from MegaUpload has become a PITA at certain hours.
It does affect all US-based content, though it's more obvious with video or
filesharing. Orange users were a little bit annoyed when they discovered
that other ISPs were not affected.

(1) Actually, some people are accusing Cogent, others blame Orange.
