Myspace and Youtube...blocked again?
Has anyone else been having problems accessing Myspace and Youtube over the weekend? No page of doom but continuous 'time outs'. Last week there were no images on Myspace and today there's nothing at all!

I havent been able to access youtube lately....it just doesn't load........bugging
I had trouble getting onto GMail.
I switched the proxy to:
proxy1.emirates.net.ae
port 8080
That cleared thing up. I can access youtube with minimal problems.
The problem is with Etisalat; I might try calling them later this evening.
The pages are not blocked (at least not yet); it probably has to do with another undersea cable cut (it's that time of year again).
I'm quite sure that this is the same month Etisalat had trouble in last year and the year before.
same here but adding proxy like skeptic wrote solved the issue
Youtube working, Myspace working but profile photos not loading but now I can't get into Gmail!
Dealing with this block and proxy stff is a real pain in the neck. Some sites need the proxy to be accessible while some others need to go without the proxy. If you are facing this problem and need an automated way to handle that then use Firefox and some proxy management plugins/extensions.
I personally recommend FoxyProxy. It is neat and automatically decides when to use and when not to use the proxy.(once it is properly configured of course)
I can't access them either... or Mixi which is a Japanese SNS site that I really need for work (along with Skype!!!)
I've only been here 3 weeks and am already getting very annoyed and feeling cheated by all that 'progresive' UAE hype that has been so successfully exported!!
Etisalat = Etislut
Youtube & Myspace are not blocked, they happen to have a problem and will never admit it, all you will get is disable your firewall or your PC is messed up.
I can hardly access google(10secs) with 2MB dsl line.
Surfing in this country becomes so boring you'd wanna switch back to 56k.
Torrent sites are blocked the same goes for flickr.
How F**king sad......
Oh well..while you guys are having problems accessing youtube and the likes, i've only just discovered it! Thanks to samuraisam and nick for the tips on how to load the videos that were jumping badly on my computer!
