708176 2008-09-27 08:29:00 Lately when I want to watch you tube videos I find the streaming is quite fast but then depending on the length of the video it would get about half way then stop. Sometime refreshing the page works then other times it gets worse. Both my pc's on the same router have the same problem. I wonder if it is cause I fiddled with the network settings the other day?

708181 2008-10-10 06:21:00 Wait till next week when the schools go back - internet traffic always takes a hit during school holidays. wainuitech (129)

Are you having the same problem?

708183 2008-10-10 18:43:00 Speed fluctuation - you can't have the desired speed at all times. As the above posts have pointed out, the Internet speed that you are getting largely depends on the usage intensity level of other fellow NZers.

708184 2008-10-10 20:22:00 Are you having the same problem? No because I don't spend a lot of time on Youtube - but the internet is usually slower during school holidays - but Jamuz's reply says it all. Certain times of day, esp if it's wet the internet can slow right down to a crawl when there is to many people on it.

One test you can do is try and see what the speeds are like at 2-3 am when most people are in bed asleep.

708185 2008-10-10 21:12:00 I'm having problems with watching stuff on You Tube or Vimeo too lately. Seems to be since I got updated to XP service pack 3? OR maybe thats just coincidence? It buffers just fine (normal speed), but it just wont play. I can click the slider along the bar below the video (where it has already buffered), but it'll only play for half a second and stall again? Johnnz (7246)
