[Internet] Melbourne, FL - Slow download speeds from youtube wit

Hi All,

For the past several months I have been experiencing extremely slow download speeds from youtube with the Bright House RR Lightning service. »www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ and »speedtest.bhn.net/ both generally show what I expect: 38-39 mb/s DL and 4-5 mb/s UL. Youtube's speed test (»www.youtube.com/my_speed) shows ~5.7 Mb/s. However, 95% of the time I experience a download speed from youtube videos from 100 kb/s to 400 kb/s, depending on the video. I am unable to stream 720p or 1080p without constant buffering, and sometimes even 480p.

A couple weeks back I called BH support and two separate phone support technicians inspected my connection. Neither spotted any issues with my connection despite my youtube problems. However, that weekend my download speeds from youtube shot up to 2-3 Mb/s consistantly, speeds I had not seen from youtube in months, then the following week it dropped again to 100-400 kb/s and has stayed there. I would greatly appreciate any assistance!

Re: [Internet] Melbourne, FL - Slow download speeds from youtube

Good morning jsr08...

See the thread below. This was discussed recently.

If you need more individual assistance you will need to open a direct forums thread.

Hi,

Could you give me a link to the thread? I looked for one before posting but did not see any related specifically to youtube video download speeds in my area.

Thanks.

Thanks. So what's the result, then? It's not BHN so tough luck, hope that Google fixes it?

JRS08 we've been hoping Google would fix it for years now and as the site becomes more popular it gets worse.
