792443 2009-07-17 07:59:00 I have IE8 and Vista and I have just reinstalled flashplayer incase that was the problem.
My download speed with Orcon is 5Mbps.
Wonder what I am doing wrong?

792444 2009-07-17 08:00:00 If you mean buffering, thats normal. If you think Orcon is bad, dont change to Xnet :p Speedy Gonzales (78)
792445 2009-07-17 08:20:00 Once it starts playing hit pause then wait for the faded red bar to get nearly right across then hit play again gary67 (56)
792446 2009-07-17 08:25:00 Thanks for the advice gary67 and Speedy Gonzales.

Have you been on any more tramps, Gary?

You claimed your speeds were 5Mbps

If that is correct, there should not be that much stalling on youtube.

Hi Blam,

It is download 5.05mbps
Upload 0.13 mbps
ping 79ms

I got my previous results from nzdsl.

It does seem strange to me that there is a problem with this speed

792449 2009-07-17 09:45:00 Try other browsers and other video sites. Blam (54)
792450 2009-07-17 20:17:00 No but I'm about to leave for Takaka hill to go caving for the weekend, although last weekend went to Salisbury Lodge for a short tramp gary67 (56)
792451 2009-07-17 22:09:00 Hi,

have you tried using Firefox? It's way better than Internet Explorer,
because it's much. much safer, for starters, no Active content.

Just a thought.

Plus you can download YouTube videos with it very easily.

Or you could try Opera, as that's quite cool too.

I use all 3, but use Internet Explorer very rarely.

792452 2009-07-17 22:59:00 I get the same with the HD video from YouTube (Orcon as ISP).
At home Im on about 4.5mbps and play normal video fine. I QoS the hell outta my line so I watch the traffic like a hawk really ..

I try with the HD video and it just doesnt wanna. I need to pause and let it buffer for a fair bit extra before playing it.
At my parents place they're connected at around 16000kbps, and they actually achieve around 1.2MB/sec from international sites, but they still get the same playback issues with HD video from YouTube also :(
