Re: [Cable] Youtube lags at night still, upgrade cache servers? Here's what I can confirm:
1) The issue appears on all sites, Windows 8, FF 18, Flash versions 11.5.502.133 to 146
2) The issue does not appear on any sites, Windows 7, FF 18, Flash version 11.3.300.257
When I tested the systems were connected to the same network, videos played one after the other, no other transfers going on, playing the same video (Iron Man 3 trailer, 1080p).
so... it's still not flash eh? |

Oh god, tonight is the worst of all. Probably because it's so cold in Toronto so everyone is staying home. I can't even stream 720p without buffering. |

| reply to HKPolice
has anyone else noticed it mostly happening during peak (~5-~11 Pm) hours? |

So far I've had no issues in Kitchener on my 28/1 TSI (Robbers) connection with 8x4 bonding using latest Google Chrome. All 1080p and 720p videos load up right away. |

You can add me to the master list too.
It feels like i'm on dial-up when i'm watching HD videos on youtube.
28/1 Cable in Mississauga, no other issues, except for Youtube. Tried both Tek and Google DNS servers.

I went to go test just now with some of the videos posted on page 4 and I was getting those buffering errors.
Ran a speedtest though, and I was getting only 5Mbit/s down on 28/1. Released/Renewed my DHCP address (in the router GUI. Power cycling the router will the same result)
Playing 1080p videos just fine now without buffering. I doubt this will help many since it seems there's some POIs out there that are heavily congested. But worth a try. |

Same here. I've got an Extreme circuit on a 4x4 bonded SB6120 on the Richmond Hill POI. In the AM I can watch 1080p content without any issues while at night it's miserable.
This can't be blamed on node congestion as switching to my backup Rogers Express circuit solved the problem. |

I'm now experiencing this issue as well. Getting 30/1 on speedtests, cannot stream YouTube at 720p.
Edit to add: Problem occurs using both Google DNS and TekSavvy DNS. No difference. Something is up. |

Just started noticing the buffering at home on my android youtube connected to wifi which is 28/1 tsi. I don't watch a lot of youtube other than on my mobile when someone sends me a link so I havent noticed til now. Last night I noticed a bunch of videos buffering in "HD" mode.. I'll check on my desktop to confirm that it's not the mobile causing it...just as soon as I muster up the energy to get out of bed  |

Problems buffering those on 720p and 1080p (and many other titles on both 720/1080).
On Teksavvy DNS servers.

It's fine here in Petawawa. And if you have worse internet than I do, You should consider switching to another provider. I have 4/800 ISH with 99.99999999% occupancy and line noise up the yin-yank.
I spend every waking minute on youtube, uploading videos, watching subs, and I do full HD without difficulty. Mind you, I'm doing 4000 other things on the internet connection at the same time. But, I do not have the lag on the you tubes. |

Can't even play 720p video at the moment - speed test gives me over 28Mbit down at the moment, so it's not my line.

said by TSI Gabe:I've just watched all of these, no buffering at all.
i'm not sure you're going about it the right way to troubleshoot this. if you're going to videos that have already been accessed by TSI users it will be cached by the time you go. |

To use the TSI cache server yes you need to use TSI's DNS servers.
Youtube works fine at Fanshawe College, so it's not Flash or HTML5 that is the problem. Currently I can load a 1080p video on 3/512k faster than on my home connection thats 28/1.
Hopefully the amazing gabe and google can figure it out
EDIT: Some videos seem to be working now :s Still defaults to 360p though. |

Here's a screenshot of what happens to me on a regular basis... altho usually it will actually buffer enough and start again, however it also just completely pauses and never resumes and doesn't get any data back until i reload the youtube video:
»cl.ly/image/3K2z1Y1Y2X1x
you can see the network graph (even as i write this it hasn't gotten any further). i will also get this at times if i try to use a youtube video download and download the mp4 file of a movie directly sometimes. |
