Whoa....3mb? What does a speed test look like to you? I find it odd that you have 12mb package and youtube only reports under 3mb.

3 edits | Typo on the first post. I have 12/2. You can see from my test history even back in june of last year I have yet to break 6000Kbps here at DSLR,
even though I am suppose to have 12/2. Even my upload is lacking, although that's acceptable.
At speedtest.net I get...
The funny thing is that isn't even my IP address shown. My IP Addresses in my block all start with 108.x.x.x ...
I blocked those servers and still having issues with youtube.
edit: the laptop that took that speed test at speedtest.net was hooked directly to my 2wire modem. That laptop is also what took the 2 most recent speed tests here at DSLR. All my other computers have the correct addresses. They are all attached to separate router/switches configured with my IP addresses.

it cleared up mine, I listed mine in the hotbrick's URL filter. Quick downloads so far right from youtube. Haven't tested the nintendo wii yet, but if it works, I am leaving it. |

Same here. Adding those servers to my hosts file pretty much solved my youtube issues. |

Try blocking the following IP: 173.194.55.38
I believe that's the IP that might be giving you the trouble. It is not giving me any trouble and the video plays fine. |

Reading your graph:
• There is no result for your connection (would be black).
• Your ISP connection (yellow line) will not factor out slower, ADSL connections, which will weigh against your result.
Referring back to my graph, it is significant to note that my connection speed, as measured at YouTube, is 2x my ISP average. My ISP average is weighted down by the connections which are resold ILEC connections (ADSL in the case of my ISP), while my connection is pure CLEC hardware (ADSL2+).
YouTube does not differentiate between U-verse and non-U-verse; "AT&T is AT&T". Pretty much makes the graph useless for looking at class problems within an ISP with different connection types, be it resold ILEC service (ADSL-only for Sonic.net because AT&T does not offer U-verse as a wholesale service) versus pure CLEC (ADSL2+ for Sonic.net "Fusion"), or ADSL with ATM vs IPDSL.
And watch more YouTube; a lot more. You don't have enough data points on your connection to display your performance. Hmm. Even signed out, I still show my connection performance, so maybe you need to have an account, and be signed in to accumulate data. Makes their graph even more useless.
I should also point out that the city graph averages the regional ISPs together, so AT&T weighs my city average down from where it would be if AT&T were broken out from the average.

Replayed at the 720p (wired connection) didn't try wireless. Had plenty of buffer too. I could have kept on going.
Scratch that, didn't see the setting. I must have done the default of 360p. It does buffer for me at 720p and 480 it did play for quite a bit before hitting the buffer. This might be because I don't have full HD capability (speed test is only 5.1/630 realtime so that could explain quite a bit, for VuDu I don't get HD either). On the "auto" setting which was 360p it kept up good. I don't have an HDtv in my house so just getting youtube to play on standard at all has been a blessing. The Nintendo Wii only Does SD, I believe the WiiU does HD, but I don't have one so I can't confirm/deny that.
Also note: I do not have Uverse internet, I have an AT&T DSL Elite (legacy DSL) line as Wan1. I also have a charter cable line as Wan2/backup. Both Wan1 and Wan2 have been experiencing this problem for quite a while off and on.

I have an account. Might be some script that NoScript is blocking, even though I have all visible scripts enabled at youtube.

Thanks for the tip about blocking youtube servers. Blocking this one worked for me.
127.0.0.1 r1---sn-vgqelnez.c.youtube.com |
|
| Note there are a lot of people who suggest using 0.0.0.0 in the hosts file instead of 127.0.0.1. Some say there is no advantage to 0.0.0.0, but I have not seen anybody say that 0.0.0.0 has a disadvantage. |

Just wanted to add to this, the list of hosts I provided for blocking is probably nowhere near complete. My solution currently is to leave my hosts file pulled up on my desktop and add lines to it each time I encounter a video I can't stream.
We really need AT&T and Google to investigate this issue in tandem. |

I also use noscript and my youtube graph shows my speeds around 4mb (had 3mb upgraded to 6mb for this testing about a week ago).
That monster truck video you posted above looks just fine to me at 720p right now.
Update: I seem to be streaming from 173.194.55.38

Videos are loading slow again tonight for me on Comcast. I've either gotten full PB speeds of 25 Mbps or only 23 kbps-5 Mbps. |

since I know you are on comcast what video is giving you the problem? Link?
I am not sure how to get the URL's like someone has above, but I can get the IP. I am guessing it's a filter for wireshark. |

Oh, it's not a specific video. I can load it up once and I get the full 25 Mbps during PB and then I could load it again and only get 1-4 Mbps or so.
Had similar issues when I had U-verse internet a couple months back. On 3 Mbps/1 up Pro I sometimes had days where I could not even stream 240p as it would constantly buffer. It happened most of the time at night for me on both this and U-verse. During the day I could stream 720p on Youtube without a problem on my 3/1 connection.
Maybe Youtube is just really congested? |
