Answer»

hey guys its me again,

i am having a problem with youtube since 2 months now...my CONNECTION is broadband 1.5 mbps (D/L: 150-200kbps)
& YES i do live in india

As i am a DOTA player i love watching pro MATCHES...few months back i could watch an hour long matches that would buffer within 5-10 minutes..max 15
but now even at 360p videos load extremely slow ...i am not even able to watch a 5 mins video clip...& the worst part is after loading first 2 -3 minutes
video freezes & goes black...it doesnt gets solved until i refresh & start from where it froze..its very annoying now
i tried deleting cookies cache & everything still no luck...plz help

NOTES :-
Firefox latest version
Adobe flash player Updated
no other sites have this problem
i cant afford a better connection, in india a 4mbps connection costs $230 per monthWhat are the full specs of your computer? Anyone else sharing this internet connection? Have you gone to www.speedtest.net and VERIFIED that you are actually getting the internet speeds you think you are getting?

This is either computer related or bandwidth related are my thoughts...Speedtest.net...i use this at least 2 times a day once in morning & once while going to bed, no fault here ...1.3-1.5 DL\ 0.98 UL

I get a black box where the video should play and I click on the play or pause and nothing happens. When I exit Youtubes site and go back to this page it is the same issue. When I exit youtubes site and go to a different video it plays fine with no problems. I just figured the video file may be corrupt in youtubes end with how infrequent I find one that wont play. Tried these videos on my wifes computer to see if it was just my computer and also wouldnt play on hers, but other videos play fine. * Assumption is broken video files at youtubes end that are not able to be passed over flash to play it.
