Are you using Google DNS? I was having a similar problem with YouTube as well as AppleTV DL's & streaming using using Google DNS.
no, whatever my FIOS is using.
What is FIOS???
If the buffering is soo slow - install a youtube downloader. I can usually download a video faster then it will buffer.
Is it me or has youtube been stupid slow (buffering often while playing)? Been like this a few days at least. I just did speedtest.net and I'm at 18Mbps/12Mbps so it's not my connection.
yep all the buffering you experience isnt a result of bandwidth issues on your end, its youtube's side that has throttling or bandwidth issues.
expect youtube to have a 'premium' subscription that will let you get 'premium' bandwidth to eliminate all the buffering and stuttering experienced with youtube standard.
id guess they would price it between two to five dollars a month.
Soooooooooooooooooooo slow! It's taking more than 5 minutes to buffer a 2 minute clip in 480p.
IndeedI'm watching 15 minute 1080p videos with no streaming, I just started a 1080 video, it started instantly and 33 seconds into it (5 minutes vid) it was fully loaded. Sucks to be you.
