(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ever since I upgraded my ISP, YT won't buffer fast enough for the video to keep going. Especially in HD. I get around 12mbps down and 1mbps up where my computer is stationed, so I don't think my bandwidth is the problem. I can watch Netflix, HBO and such in HD perfectly fine...

Any idea? Smile

Try changing your DNS settings to OpenDNS or google DNS.

1. Control Panel
2. Network and Sharing Center
3. "Change Adapter Settings"
4. Right click on wifi or LAN depending on what you are using. Click on properties.
5. Click on "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" then hit properties.
6. Under general change the DNS server addresses.

Google DNS:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

OpenDNS:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Either one of those should work, I use google DNS personally.

Do a barrel roll!
Might be their servers as well. I even find myself getting faster speeds on 480p than 360p sometimes.
