Fios:
173.194.53.115
on RCN (cable):
207.172.195.204
Fios, doesn't load, buffers. On RCN, video loaded completely in under 30seconds.
The RCN is caching the content ( 207.172.195.204 is an RCN IP )... that's why it works
Verizon is not doing any caching ( and they don't ) for any content from anyone, at least for the wireline network
Hopefully someone will get a Comcast IP when playing to verify, this pretty much ends this thread.
The slow downs are within Google, the larger cable networks ( and probably Verizon wireless ) all Cache Google/UTube, comcast is about 9X larger in customers than Verizon DSL / FIOS.
Its not a network issue within Verizon or Peering, its within Google and they could careless as its not a subscription service.
