Slow video buffering (YouTube)

Sorry for the late reply.

I received an e-mail from them in reply to a complaint via the same medium.(No wonder it's gotten cold) In the mail I was informed that to the best of their knowledge all the problems have been solved.

Sadly, I think they don't know their "behind" from their elbow.
 
Currently we reach google via a local IP transit from a 3rd party. As soon as Cape Town lights up in the next few weeks we can have Johannesburg and Cape Town connect directly to google.
Local caches being used currently are located at TENET.

Agreed, having the same problems with video streaming. Slow, and aaargh... the buffering, even my dreams are starting to buffer.
 
I'm probably going to jinx myself by posting this, but youtube streaming has been good tonight. A little buffering at the start of the video and then it plays all the way through.
 
Aargh! Back to the old play for a bit, buffering, play for a bit, buffering routine.
And this is with a Silver Surfer, connecting to a different base station.
 
I get 100% connection here in Boston Bellville, but for at least the last year the speeds are always extremely slow that it is impossible to watch any video material - play for 2 seconds, then buffer for 5-10 seconds.
iBurst do not reply to emails.
Their technicians are unable to solve the problem.
The once super iBurst has now become an utter farce.
How anyone can still want to use them is beyond me.
I have now had it with them.

*sigh*
 
Sometimes I can play a video no problems, but usually I have to let it buffer abit. I still think some kind of bandwidth throttling or shaping is going about somewhere.
