kudos:18 | It's YT's Problem I have 75/35 FIOS. I can pull down files at 10.5MB/sec, but I can't stream a lousy Youtube video on normal quality? I can't even get 720 to cooperate half the time and don't even bother with 1080. This happens at work, my house, my old house, on wi-fi, 3G, 4G, it doesn't matter.

That's interesting. I was disappointed that FIOS was not available in the new neighborhood I moved into. I had to settle for CV. I don't have your speeds:
But I can stream HD on 2 machines simultaneously while doing a large FTP download without a stutter.
I thought FIOS was the creme de la creme! |

I've also had major issues on Time Warner with 30/5 service. Barely can stream 720p in the evening. |

I can max out my pipe. The bottleneck exists somewhere external to my own connection. |

Obviously. What services are impacted? Only streaming video? |

Really? I've had zero problems with streaming Youtube (including 1080p) at work (fat univeristy pipe), home (Cox - 18/2, but recently speed tests at 25/15) or over Verizon LTE. Hell, I was even able to stream some HQ cartoons for the kid over Target's wifi the other day. This story is the first I've heard of the problem.

Just the streaming. I guess the guy above is right, possibly a peering issue. |

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:
»www.youtube.com/html5
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. |

Most videos with ads will only run in the Flash player. 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. |

Re: It's YT's Problem It's definitely ISP peering issues. See the post I"m about to make. |

Re: Using YouTube HTML5 trial speeds are fine 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.

Consider yourself lucky. I have horrible problems with YouTube (and Maps) at home (30/5), work - 4 fat network pipes, on my 3G data card and either of my LTE enabled cell phones, all while sitting under a Verizon tower.
One thing I have noticed is a 480 clip will play fine. A 720p clip will play okay, but a 1080p clip, sucks hairy donkey balls. |

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.
