I can watch videos no problem from places like netflix, motherless, etc, but youtube videos ALWAYS are laggy and sometimes I have to completely reload the page and restart them (from any of my computers)

oh, i didn't think to look in chit chat, and was hoping for techtalk type answers as opposed to chitchat style answers

i posted it more to show that you are not alone. i think it's been discussed in tech talk a few times too though

3/13/2010 5:37:28 PM

i am here with you
though you're far away
i am here to stay

3/13/2010 5:55:12 PM

haha http://www.google.com/search?q=twc+throttle+youtube returns message_topic.aspx?topic=580244

is there some "techie" way to get around the throttling? this shit is annoying. EVERY time i watch a video it freezes over and over due to the bandwidth.

3/13/2010 7:56:09 PM

i'm really surprised there hasn't been a bigger uproar about any of this

3/13/2010 8:00:30 PM

i noticed really annoying lagginess when I had roadrunner

but now that I have uVerse it's been fine...so I can only assume it's TWC being their usual douchey selves

3/15/2010 11:47:41 PM

Same with Charter where I am. I'm on a 16 Mb/s connection and it still takes 5 minutes to fully load a 5 minute YouTube video. It's annoying as hell.

I have similar issues with TWC and youtube. I am in Cary with the 6 Mb/s down package. It's one of those things that is annoying but not annoying enough to call CS and ask about. No other online video service seems to be as bad.

youtube is slow as hell on comcast, too. and on whatever connection we have at work.
