It's YT's ProblemI have 75/35 FIOS. I can pull down files at 10.5MB/sec, but I can't stream a lousy Youtube video on normal quality? I can't even get 720 to cooperate half the time and don't even bother with 1080. This happens at work, my house, my old house, on wi-fi, 3G, 4G, it doesn't matter. |

Before google...All the issue started after google bought them. You'd think google might be able to fix this issue asap but oohh well.... |

Re: It's YT's ProblemThat's interesting. I was disappointed that FIOS was not available in the new neighborhood I moved into. I had to settle for CV. I don't have your speeds: But I can stream HD on 2 machines simultaneously while doing a large FTP download without a stutter. I thought FIOS was the creme de la creme! |

I've also had major issues on Time Warner with 30/5 service. Barely can stream 720p in the evening. |

On TelmexFor me youtube becomes worthless on any res besides 320p during most of the day, then it goes back to normal at night. My fix is to turn on my VPN, then it runs fine all day at any resolution. |

Water is wet, sky is blue..It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that one of the main IP blocks belongs to XO. They're really a pathetic telco. |

Re: It's YT's ProblemI can max out my pipe. The bottleneck exists somewhere external to my own connection. |

youtube issuesby the way: OMG a youtube video on dslreports that will actually go FULL SCREEN!?!?!?!?!?! Am I dreaming?Recently I have youtube loading problems during peak.... but not always. I am not on a big provider so it might simply be a case of them over saturating their (the ISPs) connection. Outside of peak times I have had periods where it was a buffer fest, but after reporting them (right click report playback issue) they tend to go back to normal within a day or two. Having experienced this off and on for many years I always came to the conclusion that googles algorithm was faulty in the youtube flash app.. and it was backing itself off. I am glad to see its getting some attention so we can figure out why we have to wait to see our cute animal videos |

I did a fix similar to this about 6 months ago and my speeds increased instantly.
Though as a fair warning, even the backup servers go slow on some days... so although this fix can give you relief most of the time, it won't work all of the time.
For those of you that don't fully understand what is going on, when you block the range of IP addresses to YouTube's primary servers, you're then redirected to the backup servers...which tend to get far less traffic and run far faster (at least until millions of people start doing this "fix"). |

Really? I've had zero problems with streaming Youtube (including 1080p) at work (fat univeristy pipe), home (Cox - 18/2, but recently speed tests at 25/15) or over Verizon LTE. Hell, I was even able to stream some HQ cartoons for the kid over Target's wifi the other day. This story is the first I've heard of the problem. |

Re: It's YT's ProblemJust the streaming. I guess the guy above is right, possibly a peering issue. |

Slowness!I thought it was just my slow 50Mbps line. They must be reducing bandwidth usage to save money. |

50/25 Youtube runs quickly at first then slows to a pulp. |

I downgrade and upgraded again 50/25. I couldn't pass up on a good deal for $70 a month. |

Using YouTube HTML5 trial speeds are fineI joined YouTube's HTML5 trial and speeds are fine for those videos encoded for HTML5. But when it switches to Flash, the speeds can sometimes crawl. You can join the HTML5 trial at YouTube here: » www.youtube.com/html5P.S.>> Most videos supplied by content companies, as opposed to user submitted videos, have ads in them. Most videos with ads will only run in the Flash player. |

Re: Water is wet, sky is blue..This. We've got a few trunks with them and they go down at least once a week. The telecom guys are constantly having to change the call routes to deal with their F-Ups. I thought AT&T was bad, but XO truly takes the cake. People in 3rd world countries must be getting more reliable service than XO. |

Measuring YouTube PerformanceThere was a great presentation at NANOG 57 about measuring YouTube performance. It's pretty complex including if the video was played in the middle, what region it's being played in, etc. » www.nanog.org/meetings/n ··· =nanog57 |

Youtube throttles itselfNowadays, youtube will give you 30 seconds of buffer at full speed, then throttle down the connection to about 1.5 times the bitrate. If you pause, youtube used to let the flash player buffer the entire clip, but that is no longer the case with some videos. They placed a limit on how much it will buffer when you pause. It's not a comcast related issue, it still does it over my hurricane electric VPN/IPV6 connection. |

If You Are A Money Maker On YouTube It Seems DifferentThis is my opinion on the subject. And have noticed it for quite some time now.
copied from my earlier post on the subject:
"I could be wrong, but it sure does seem if you watch some of YouTube's big money makers/partners they load fine in 1080 but watch joe blow's video in 1080 and your gonna be buffering a lot. I've noticed this for quite some time now. And its getting worse it seems".
Try it and see what you think. |
