Rep Power: 1    |  Slow YouTube Even with 2Mb/s connection. I have been getting slow YouTube buffering speeds recently. I have no clue why. Anyone has a solution? My speedtest results are fine. 1.85 Mb/s download and 0.22 Mb/s upload. The bandwidth is fine as you can see. Help will be appreciated and rep will be added. Thanx And I download torrents at an average speed of 215 KBps. With everything else turned off(even my Kaspersky Internet Security 2010) i have to wait for ages to get the video to start.  The link to my speedtest is ***. speedtest .net /result /583424718. png I am not allowed to post Links. Remove spaces. Thanks in advance! |

Rep Power: 1 |  I normally wait till buffering is completed. Even with 2 Mbps, there can be some lag. Remove offline data and try. |

Rep Power: 1 | I cleared cache. Tried YouTube in opera,chrome,IE8,FF. All in vain. Thanks for the quick response though. Also, all other sites work perfectly. Except gmail. Last edited by mecyanide; 10-05-09 at 07:24 PM. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |

Rep Power: 1 | Yeah i already use that. I also tried switching between the preferred DNS i.e. b/w 208.67.220.220 208.67.222.222 Not helped. But as i said other sites work perfect so is it possible that MTNL blocks YouTube traffic? I used orbit downloader to download stuff and videos of sites I get 150+kBps But with YouTube i only get 10-17 kBps speeds. |

Rep Power: 1 | From the screen shot you have posted... it looks like you have opened too many sites ( youtube & other also)... Means when you are watching one video other sites & videos also sharing bandwidth which slows down net & overall experience suffer.... Try opening only one site ( youtube) at a time & tell me you feel any difference... |
