It's automatically set by the script and can't be shut off unless you disable auto buffering as you're seeing.

Thanks.

Good 'ol slowtube. I've also been noticing buffering issues more often lately. Definitely a slowtube problem though.

Its a real annoyance but the only one I have with FIOS, funny thing is it never did it when I was on optimum but I had constant connection problems with OOL so go figure.

I should point out too. There's a nifty Greasemonkey script called YousableTubeFix on Userscripts.org that disables the Buffer limit on the YouTube player. I find that to be very helpful especially when speed is an issue.

Can you clarify where that setting is in Yousable Youtube Fix, Im in settings and only see something to stop autobuffering.

Op do you have similar issues with other YouTube downloads?

djsly posted : I have the 75/35 plan and I've tested the speed in speed testers and actual downloads are close to the plan speeds. However, when I watch YouTube videos, it's very very slow to load for 1080 videos and sometimes even 720 videos. Below is a link to a video I'm trying to watch in 1080 but it's takes a couple minutes to load. Is this something related to Verizon or is this YouTube?
