It could be google issue of clogging the network traffic bandwidth of youtube.com that's no big deal. Feel free to find right ISP but fiber optical ISP is highly recommended that is high end internet connection.

If it isn't, fiber for the last mile won't make any difference for them. |

During normal times I get the full 6Mbps on downloads but during peak times it goes down to 200KB. It would seam that certain areas are way over subscribed. |

Re: Problems watching Youtube clips - I hate comcast throttling. I don't think its comcast as my friend has DSL and he is having the same issues. I think its youtube's slow download servers that are causing this... |

There was a big thread about this 'throttling' a few months ago. The general consensus is that it's an issue with YouTube being overloaded at times. |

Comcast does not "throttle" YouTube or Hulu said by andyross:There was a big thread about this 'throttling' a few months ago. The general consensus is that it's an issue with YouTube being overloaded at times. I can tell you we're definitely *not* throttling YouTube or Hulu.

kudos:1 | said by lynxy:Youtube is only overloaded with comcast, not Verizon DSL, question - why? Dunno, but start by posting a traceroute from CC and VZ to YouTube. It may also matter where in the CC or VZ network you are, as the route paths to YouTube likely differ within each network.

said by lynxy:Youtube is only overloaded with comcast, not Verizon DSL, question - why? Youtube (as well as all major geographically dispersed content) controls their global load balancing via source IP address. Since they are in control of where the content is served from, it is very possible that the server you are using is different than someone else at Comcast or the one via VZ.
I'd recommend the basic network troubleshooting and if the issue appears outside of Comcast, contact YouTube support.
Perhaps you should change your title as it is highly inaccurate. |

Here's a link to the original discussion:
»YouTube very slow? |

| reply to comcraptic
I doubt its comcast this time. You can get a program called VDownloader to download the clips locally and watch.Whether Comcast or my friends dsl,I can see the speed fluctuate and slow down on download.This behavior is similar for streaming. |
