Re: I think Qwest is blocking YOUTUBE I have 5Mbps/896Kbps service myself and have been able to watch 1080p video from Youtube without any issues. The line speed is only barely faster than the required rate from a 1080p video and I haven't had any issues. 720p has never given me an issue either or any of the other resolutions. |

Minneapolis, MN | Users who don't understand how the Internet works. Read this. Oh My God... I am shocked that this thread is a sticky.
I was sure I debunked this thing a few years ago. Qwest is a Tier 1 provider and to suggest that we would be allowed by one of our customers to 'shape'/'block' their content with out their knowledge is utter nonsense.
What Google does beyond their peering point is their business.
They have a very sophisticated content management and distribution system. If your having problems with a specific video it should be reported to Google/Youtube. Video, your public ip, city, state, time, date, url and as much as you can give them.
Who knows maybe they would be inclined to check things out.

Making it a sticky also shows the complete lack of knowledge about how the modern Internet works. |
