YouTubeRed - Slow Download Speeds on Youtube - First Time in Months

Hi,

Interesting situation. I am a Google Music Subscriber… So just got access to YouTubeRed with no advertisements.

For the first time in months on Telstra Cable… I couldnt stream a video without massive buffering (multiple attempts).

Tested my internet connection and it was 32mbs (usually about 36mbs). Not much of a slow down…

Anyone else seeing similar issues?

    Telstra have a long history and sordid history of being unable to deliver streaming video services despite being Australia's largest ISP and the fact that much smaller ISPs that buy their product from Telstra itself have no trouble at all.

    Naturally this has nothing at all to do with Telstra owning several competing video services including Foxtel and they fully support network neutrality.

    Are all youtube videos created equally? Are they all equally accessible or are some on different servers that aren't as good etc? Cos ive sometimes wondered why some videos load superquick and others not so? just an honest q, im not sure?

    Yeah red tube is a little slow, i prefer youporn.

  • whoever coined up the name 'Youtube Red' is probably a Redtube subscriber! LOL that is going to confuse people, and young teenage-boppers gonna end up at the wrong site… stupid name, otherwise this tech-geek is quite naive ??
