YouTube loading unusually slow?

Sometime this week any video I tried to watch would take forever to load I checked my Video Speed here http://www.youtube.com/my_speed and I see a big slanted dip towards then end(today). Speedtest.net says I have a 20Mbps download speed and Youtube says I average 7.53 but the chart shows that the last few days it has severely dropped. I've cleared my cache and reset the router but that does no good. I can still watch vids from sites like Hulu or Blip.tv fine but not YouTube, any ideas?
