anyone here been having trouble with youtube?
im with bright house networks(central florida, getting 25mbps down 0.6 up), and youtube videos have been buffering like its going out of style. other video streaming sites seem to be fine, but 1080 youtube videos are stuttering slideshows. BHN support is insisting that its youtubes(google) servers and not BHN networks or throttling. I cant dismiss this out of hand cause ive been sore with youtube ever since youtube DASH (fuck you youtube, if i want to load the whole video at my moms house with less than a meg down then thats my prerogative!)
just trying to see if maybe youtube maybe changed its streaming protocols and is unaware of its shitty service or if BHN is a lying shit. does youtube have a speedtest i can use to directly compare to other speedtests? all i can find with a search is the useless quality report.

Same area. Lakeland.
Dude it's only 25mbps.
You can't expect 1080, maybe 720 I'd you're lucky

They are throttling you breh. I have 6mbps and yt 720p @60fps plays flawlessly. Can't say the same about 1080p tho.

Use youtube-dl to download videos locally and use your favorite video player instead of google's HTML5/flash monstrosity

Nope YouTube has been fine for me lately. 1080p streaming just because I can.
But I have been getting some strange compression artifacts that hang around a bit too long. Started happening randomly a few months ago and hasn't gone away.
