Re: [BC] Horrendous YouTube performance Some of us on Telus are having seemingly the same problem, see this thread: » [AB] Youtube.com appears to be throttled
I am more inclined to suspect it is an issue with the CDN than with ISP. (Which is why I decided to pop over here to the Shaw forum and see if there was a similar thread.)
One thing us Telus users have noticed is that even when YouTube performance is too slow to watch normal videos in HD, the "test video" at »youtube.com/my_speed still loads quickly and will play fine in HD. I'm curious if any Shaw folks have experienced the same. |

This is what I am seeing as far as speed tests with shaw:

ISPs might have a CDN for their own content, but it is specifically YouTube that we are talking about here. Perhaps Google might hire CDN services from regional ISPs, but I would still consider that to be part of "the YouTube CDN." |
