I'm not sure if all the upstream SPs are running DPI engines. For a throughput that much, easiest and laziest way is to block Youtube cluster IPs - which seems to be the case. Google Play is most probably running on the same cluster.

Also, if you give a closer look to the authentication mechanism while using *any* of the Google services, the URL changes for a moment to Youtube services - for authentication.

Some ISPs blocked Yourtube (not only) they have also blocked google authentication servers which blocked google play, google calendar, google drive, etc..

The answer to your problem can be explained through the following
link. Since many of google's services and service scripts are
intertwined, there may be some problems that occur due to the shutting
down of one service. I witnessed things to be more problematic from
night before yesterday, should be in normalization soon:

Select the service you need or simply all for that matter and select
the country Pakistan.

Yup situation is similar here as well. Google Play store and GMAIL app on android are not responding since yesterday.

It's not working even if auth URL is accounts.google.com. They have blocked whole IP ranges of google thus blocking almost all google services.

Many Google services are effected due to the blocking of youtube.com on IP level. Beside having DPIs inline, youtube https can not be blocked. Only way to block https URL is by  blocking the IP.

Google keeps shuffling the IPs between all their services, that the reason the behavior is intermittent.

At least for khi I think blockage is at tw1 and/or pie - so doesn't matter which isp you are using.

If somebody tries to block YT on HTTPS then the end user will face issues in accessing Google shared hosted systems, being used by many applications/websites like BlogSpot, word press, and Google owned setups.

In a few cases It does matter which ISP you are using  ... Bulk bandwidth subscribers of TW1 and PIE are handled differently by them ..
