According to Google
(http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/241596-Google-Global-Cache-%28GGC%29),
the video will be served from the 'best' location. In your case, that
video may not have been in the google node at UTL but if it is played
by many people here, it will be considered popular and the Google
servers will then push it to the UTL cache. In other words, the UTL
cache will usually server the popular videos.

A good example is trying the popular videos here like songs by
Chameleone, Iryn Namubiru etc.

Wilson
