^this. Same with Netflix though for me. Where are you based? I'm in Austin, Tx.

Any of the speed tests online will report 30mbps/5mbps, but I'm unable to stream HD on Youtube or Netflix during peak times.

Same for me on Time Warner in Austin. I can't wait for Google Fiber to roll into town.

At peak times it isn't out of the question that the video service itself is a bit under the weather. I've had some troubles with Amazon at peak time, and it's always been with fresh content, such as yesterday's television show that just became available on Amazon four hours ago. It wasn't obviously my network, as switching over to Netflix worked just fine at full quality. (That's not a proof it's not still somehow network related, but it strongly suggests it wasn't my ISP.)

I'm in Cleveland, OH. Like I said, never have problems with other services like Netflix or even streaming videos by vimeo or skydrive, just Youtube. It's so frustrating I've considered setting up a network-wide VPN for my home network to get around it

I'd be happy if my TWC in Austin would just stay up. I've had many techs out and the service goes down daily for sometimes hours at a time. ugh...
