Youtube has just been terrible lately. I can hardly watch videos in 360p without having to preload for a minute or two. I know it's not my internet, seeing as I download at an average of 1 MB/s. I've tried sketchy 3rd party programs to speed this up and done hours of research to see if there's an issue but to no avail. If somebody know of anything that can be done, it would be much appreciated.
Also, here's some proof.
Speedtest:
Damn shitty upload speeds.
Youtube download status. This is over the course of about 2.5 minutes loading a video at 480p.

Holy balls of Sh*t I wish I had internet download speed that fast! Mine is about 1/12 of that. -.- I'm having a weird problem where I load 30 seconds of the video, and then it stops.
I deleted and re-installed my internet browser (google chrome, it has integrated flash to make videos load faster)
I also re-installed flash player. Youtube videos run on it, as well as html5 (in some browsers)
After a few days the problem dissapeared.
Also, go to the network/sharing center, disconnect and reconnect to your internet connection (if using a cable, unplug it and plug it back in)
Ew... your Upload speed is horrible..
What you on Dialup o.o?/?
But upload.. is what connects to the server.. like File share programs or Online games.. Upload speed is what matters...
Where I live, upload speeds don't get any better. I don't know why they aren't. All I can upgrade at this point is my downstream, which I could get up to about 20 Mb/s for like 4x the price. I have absolutely no problems on page loads or online games or any other site other than Youtube.

No it's not. My upload is the same and I watch YT videos at 1080p
Mine isn't I cant my laptop is 2-3 mb upload.. but i cant watch videos at all..
my friend has the exact same laptop but its 3-4 mb upload and he can watch videos....

You've got some awfully flawed logic. I have 1.7mbs upload speed and I can watch any video any quality no lag. It makes no difference.

I've had this problem before, also.
I would suggest pulling up a video, reading a thread or something, then watching the video.
(Like you did in the '90s!)

Thanks, I'll try that.

Well for some reason.. it does for mine..
My download speed is 18 mbs and his is 12 mbs

Logic has nothing to do with it..
I'm just stating something and your just gonna come in and brag..
Ah well that would explain it.. thanks

Several months later, I switch back to Google Chrome, then everything is fine.
If you are watching a video with low views, it will take longer to load since the servers need to search for it.
