Youtube lag? My hardware or YouTube is to blame? Saturday, July 14, 2012 11:41 PM (permalink)
I think I have decent networking gear and internet speed, But youtube is driving me crazy! Is anybody else having trouble watching HD videos or even SD quality somtimes? I"m currently running a motorola SB6120 paired with an Asus RT-N66U Router.

    Dine troubles with it? Lots of buffering time? If so I've notified that it has been getting worse but HD versions still are quicker to buffer than the SD versions

    Looking for cheap web hosting?  PM me for more info.

      What are your current browser(S).  Firefox ver 13 is ultra fast.  Google Chrome is just as fast and Google owns YouTube.  Latest IE9 helps so much on YouTube as well.
