Using YouTube HTML5 trial speeds are fine I joined YouTube's HTML5 trial and speeds are fine for those videos encoded for HTML5. But when it switches to Flash, the speeds can sometimes crawl.
You can join the HTML5 trial at YouTube here:

P.S.>> Most videos supplied by content companies, as opposed to user submitted videos, have ads in them. Most videos with ads will only run in the Flash player.

I will be perfectly happy if the budget cuts specified in the Budget Control Act go into effect. 3 cheers for the sequester. Take the money from the drunken federal spenders. |

I've been using the MVP Hosts file for 2-3 years now and I literally never see any ads on YouTube. No popup ads, no ads playing before the videos, no ads on the site itself. Other than the commercials that people upload as videos, YouTube is 100% ad-free for me. |

I just joined, and -- oddly enough -- the same videos I had issues with this morning are streaming fine. Chalk it up to time of day, but not so much as a hiccup. |

Even if you use the hosts file or adblock or whatever, it will still force you to view in flash if the video is supposed to have ads.

I've never seen an ad on Youtube when using a browser with Adblock. Wish I could cram that on my cell phones... |

I'm not saying you see ads, I am saying it forces you to watch the video in flash even if you are in the HTML5 trial. You don't see the ad.

HTML5 player still uses Flash! I can't tell any difference either way. |

If you are using android and are rooted you can use Ad block + for android. |
