Is there anyone still with telkom having youtube not using full bandwidth? other sites seem working ok though. can someone assist using youtube international server?


EDIT: Seems they throttle UHD 60fps videos. also some videos works fine.

telkom said its the youtube problem. so can someone confirm this with telkom isp?
 
Don't know what method of delivery you are talking about but through mobile on my pc its sometimes clearly throttled, a simple on and off for the sim solves it though. Nothing wrong with YT's servers I can assure you.
 
I tried it on pc and laptop through wifi and ethernet same result. seems some cache problem of south africa YT

If it's not something popular it won't be cached locally which means you could be playing it from NA or EU and if it buffers it means your international speed is bad.

What's the video?

International sites are fine using full line speed. speedtest gives full line aswell.

THEY USE CDN not a caching proxy .... youtube does have a local presence. Why do you think you get sub 20ms to youtube or any google service.

They are throttling you

Twitch doesn't have a local presence thats why you cant broadcast full 1080p because of TCP Windows Size. Hence why cool ideas have a local twitch proxy so that they can utilize TCP Window Scaling to compensate for this and give you better bandwidth. Cool ideas can do this because they have full access to the path the traffic routes through and thus can make the TCP Window Size much bigger with scaling.

Telkom through BCX working fine - no buffering
Telkom Mobile also working fine through phone - no buffering

Also higher quality, 2160 working fine.

What is line speed you have tested this?
Is it used full constant bandwidth on 2160p?
 
Was thinking about telkom might be throttling YT home uncapped fck. but according to telkom tech, they don't.

FUP limit for line not for YT I suppose
 
Can't be throttling according to the stats posted he has buffered about 50 seconds worth of video already, are you using the PC to play youtube ?
 
FUP inactive

I tested that video with laptop and pc on wifi/ethernet with same result.
 
Update: seems one (telkom,YT) of them fixed up their mess for now. will monitor further. thanks everyone
