The video above plays fine on iBurst, on the same computer, using Google Chrome 22.0.1229.79.
In both browsers I tried with Adobe Flash and HTML5.

Tell me this is an overloaded tower in our area on a Sunday afternoon:
Yes, 240p setting and the usual *** error message. Thanks for letting us pay 800 bucks a month for a dismal internet service where we cannot even watch 240p Youtube videos.

Getting the same !
Seems like iBurst is throttling the holy crap out of YouTube connections AGAIN!!

Video streaming on iBurst
Ok, I'm not to familiar with data speeds but if find these speed tests interesting. On Iburst web it shows I am in good WIRELESS coverage area. Does that mean I will be able to stream movies? I have a DLNA Blue Ray player connected to my Android. I can use this to stream from Youtube and several other movie sites.
I'm looking at their 5 GB package. I am using an MTN SIM and modem at the moment, streaming movies is good quality but the cost is prohibitive. Iburse gives 5 GIG during the day and % GIG 24:00 to 06:00.

Sorry man, iburst and steaming just dont go together. Look at something else for now, im doing you a favor.
Thanks dude, Ill stick to my MTN then even though mobile data costs more then iBurst.
The low quality videos will stream on iBurst via youtube. Anything else it is best to download and view later (schedule a download between midnight and 8am in the morning).

And that is not our problem, it is iBurst's reluctance to give us what we pay for.
My advice is to find some way of trying it for yourself. Do none of your friends or family have an iBurst modem you could borrow? iBurst are still cheaper than the best 8ta and Cell-C specials.
According to the iBurst coverage map, I'm in a poor coverage area.
About six months ago I was doing an online course that required watching a couple of hours of YouTube videos every week. It was painful, I had to wait for the videos to load almost completely before I could start to watch them. Now I am doing another similar course and the videos are streaming perfectly.
Since the time I had problems, the following things have changed:
- I upgraded from a 1Mbps modem to a 2Mbps modem
- iBurst have improved their routing/peering/upstream providers
- I switched from an omnidirectional antenna to a directional antenna, aimed at a different base station
- I switched from Mozilla Firefox to Google Chrome, for watching videos only

Is HTML5 video working for anyone on iBurst?

Every video I try shows 'This video is currently unavailable'. They work fine on the same computer on a different internet connection.
Edit: Browser is Firefox without Flash plugin installed.
