| [AZ] Constant buffering issues with Cox and Youtube I can't stream a HD video on Youtube without constant buffering. I have their unlimited package, or whatever the highest is....
Am I the only one that has this issue or is this a common thing? |

| I usually never have issues with You Tube, both on the computer and TV via Roku and TiVo.
I use Google DNS servers (8.8.8.8 - 8.8.4.4)
I do notice that tonight the YouTube Speed test is streaming very slowly, but not having issues with actual content in 720p or 1080p.

Whenever it is slow I hit f5 to refresh and it almost always gets better. I assume a server change on youtubes end. |

Looking at that link, it clearly shows (yellow line) a speed drop for Cox users. |

kudos:1 | The results you see are dependent for your geographic area. Another words what you see and what I see when we click on the same link are different. I suspect the difference mainly in perhaps different peering nodes between you and the youtube server farms and perhaps even cache servers in my given area. When I click on it I see Cox being way above other ISP's. Using Google's DNS seems to allow quicker load balancing between those servers since Google host's Youtube. |

Mary Esther, FL | Not to mention, you miss that annoying Cox redirect page, too. As if my bill is expensive enough, that is VERY EVIL.
