Problems Watching You Tube

[Thaihog]

I'm having problems watching You Tube and was wondering if there are any 'computer techs' that can help.

Any time I try to watch You Tube or listen to the BBC radio it goes into buffering mode after only 5 seconds or so, restarts after a few seconds then pauses again, bloody annoying.

My ISP is TOT, download speed varies from 0.5 to 2 MB. I'm using Firefox as my browser.

Many thanks

I haven't been able to view You Tube or use Skype for 14 months now. Too slow - exact same problem you are experiencing. TTT/Maxnet Indy. Tried Premiere and it was even slower. I've gotten used to it.

Nothing new there unfortunately. I just logged on and it's streaming fine, but it also depends on the size of the content you are watching. Low resolution clips will stream a lot faster without buffering all the time. TIT sadly

it seems that I can usually watch it earlier in the day, but not at night.

Also have tttmaxnet and the same problems. If the clip is large, I use Im Too downloader which works fast. Watch the clip and delete or keep. Free download for Im Too. Google heem.

i watch 3 News NZ most days. Its streamed live or you can watch it delayed.

I used to watch it streamed live but in the last few months its been unwatchable due to buffering, depending on yr luck

on youtube im having better luck, watched the "Big Trouble in tourist Thailand" series with no problems, episode 6 just came out, bit of a sham tv reality show following Brits on holiday in Thailand
