Iam seriously debating switching service because of this crap. I hate buffering videos and the fact that i have to wait 5 minutes just to watch a 1080p video is REDICILOUS!
I am not basing my 150Kb/s off this graph I do have a internal network bandwidth monitor. It is averaging 150 from youtube. And before you say, well duh turn down the quality. I will say what {word filter avoidance} am I paying for a 75Mb/s connection if I cant even stream 1080p then
Switch services.
It's been well known and documented that Verizon Fios has trouble streaming services such as YouTube and Netflix in HD as well as significantly slower speeds with other services like Steam.
What? Steam works beautifully on FiOS, and there's caches on-network. 18.5MB/s on days where huge TF2 updates are not being pushed out all at once. The cable company in my area has problems, though. You have to jump between the New York and Chicago regions depending on the time of day or night it is to even get 1.5MB/s sustained.
