Streaming media slow? Anyone else?

Well-informed

Anyone else finding streaming media is broken? Youtube in particular.

Speed tests are fine, and no packet loss on BQM.

All ports are at 1gig and stable.

Just trying to work out if its my network or virgins/youtube.

Thanks guys.

Anything above 1080p stutters and stops. If you move to another point on a video it often just sits there, no network activity at all.

Same, either way its a relief knowing its not just me.

Thanks guys.

Can confirm that things seemed to be working normally from my end.

Still seeing constant buffering here... 3 days.

Asking the obvious - have you tried rebooting your Modem/Router?

On our wavelength

Playing up again...

Youtube still buffering. This has been going on for almost a week now?

What's going on?

Same for me - assume this is a virgin wide issue - started just under a week ago for me on the 1gb service

Your connection speed is low and as there is almost no buffer it's no wonder that you are having a problem. In comparison when playing that video my connection speed is typically 80,000Kbps and buffer health is 30s.

Yeah I spotted that too, however right now all is well. Lets see how long that lasts.

Getting slow speeds and buffering on **bleep**ute also, this happened about last week.
