Youtube’s been working great all day today but for past an hour or so, when I hit youtube.com, it says “This Site is Restricted” and the title of the page says “Access Denied”. Are you guys facing anything similar?

Note: Youtube is opening fine from all other ISPs.

Update: Youtube is now working fine. It probably faced issue due to network maintenance.

In the process of making its image better PTCL’s “ek tar faiday beshumar” is by far the most vibrant commercial coming from them. Hear it on radio or watch it on TV, its the best at both.  Take a look at it yourself.
