yes that is correct.
i am currently watching youtube 1080p vids while torrents are maxing out my d/l speeds.
at times, however, youtube 1080p will NOT play, making me wonder if twc is putting the squeeze on that at times as well :\ |

i read that too and thought that was a possibility. you would think they would have it squared away 10 days later though? |

I can't stream 10-8P youtube on a Time Warner 250Mbit fiber link at a customer site. And since I'm their IT geek I can tell you its not the LAN. I figure the peering points may be overloaded - people on 15 Mbit FIOS seem to be able to get 1080P. I don't think TWC would throttle you. |

I have this issue on an AT&T and a no-name-mom-and-pop cable company as well. There was a Youtube video out there that showed you how to overcome the Youtube slowness. I ran that video and did what it said, and it seems to have fixed it for me on my RR link. » www.youtube.com/my_speedNot sure if this was it. Anyway, youtube will generally max out my connection now. Now if maps.google.com didn't suck so bad.... |

I consider knowingly overloading links or peering points in order to cause a bottleneck, or not doing anything to releave an overload, to be the same thing as throttling. The end result is pretty much the same at least. /M |

Frequently traffic for other sites without problems traverse the same peering/transit points, so its possible the CDN side of the connection to those aggregation points might be the issue. You'd need more info to really figure it out. |

CDN's are the ones that control the "best path" performance. ISPs have little control on the link choices. |

If an ISP only advertises to a CDN from a single link then that's the only link the CDN is gonna use. /M |
