Thread: BSNL 750 Ul 512 new plan - Why youtube not buffering?

Yeah i find something odd here...last time when BSNL gave away free speed of 512 for 1 month that time i was not at all facing any issues while watching the videos on youtube

But now with the same speed(512) ....why the videos getting stuck ...(buffering issues)

can anyone help me in this matter?

BSNL 750 Ul 512 new plan - Why youtube not buffering?

but now its not giving full 512 speed to youtube...why is it so...any solution?

i am sorry to understand anything from your thread.. what do you want?? and whats your problem?? Buffering or no buffering??

ok i edited my question hope u understand now...actually m not able to watch videos properly...its getting stuck everytime like its 256 plan speed....but with 512 i guess youtube shud work fine right?

hmm... what are your dns set to??

are you still on those bsnl's erratic dnses??

change them to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 or just to 4.2.2.2 under network settings > IP 4

Test your connection's speed by using this tool from Youtube.com.

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself. - link, click on "Show Test Video", you will find your connection's speed when the video start's playing in real-time.

I am on 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 ....wont that work...?

try with different free dns services and tell what you get....


this may be due to your browser also... try ff or chrome and not IE. and or some other browser..

or it may be just low internet from bsnl

DNS tweak will NOT boost youtube loading speed its solely depends upon BSNL servers which are choked every time! so expecting cent per cent speed from bsnl is too much considering the fact they are using 3rd class copper infrastructure to deliver last mile connectivity.

streaming 720P video at full blast!

I think he will like to have some best from his present connection thats BSNL..so we should help him with bsnl itself..

Yeah, YouTube won't "buffer" alright (around 12 KB/s), but I can "download" the video from YouTube servers at 60 KB/s!!

BSNL is unbelievable!

Just changed to BSNL DNS, tried with FF, Chrome, Opera. It was even slower.

ok do 1 thing..this might help...call 198 and tell them that your net conn gets DC every 10-15 min and DSL lamp is not stable....hope they will fix it or atleast check at their servers and wish you good luck,

DC is not my problem...so you want me to tell them this so that they would check my connection?!

And by the way, I don't have my phone line attached..I have the number of the person who manages BSNL in my area but I guess he's dumb and he won't know what YouTube is!

what? u don't have a phone line ? then how can you use BSNL net ?

*My mistake. Have the phone line, don't have the phone attached.
We don't need the phone..we never will make calls to anyone!
I've directly connected the line with the modem! XD

then attach the phone , make a call to 198 and LIE them and keep the phone connected so that you can pick it when they ring back.
I am sure the problem will be solved this way else if you talk to them about you-tube , it will take ages

All the best.

Explain them the problem in the way they understand. youtube is UNKNOWN to them lol

If you really.... really want to see a youtube video download it using IDM or some other download manager....

Even with 2 Mbps plan, the buffering is awful....

Eh, I would do that...but then why was streaming invented in the first place?
To watch the video side by side, as it streams!

BSNL, FU! XD
Can't even stream a video properly.. =/

Streaming was invented for countries like U.S.....

Buffering a video might take 15mins.... Why take that pain when you may be able to download it in 2mins..... Even if you don't want you can delete it, nothing much of a waste.....

Maybe we have that kind of luck after a *few years*

Right... Everyone is hoping for that..... Better bandwidth..... Better support....

Try downloading when you want to see youtube videos.....
I'm using IDM with Firefox add-on Flash got all.....
