Quite often videos are buffering on my 80 Mbit connection at home - however when I switch to tethering with my phones connection, there is no problem. I always had the impression that providers try to cache or throttle Youtube video downloads. So I really appreciate that Google is doing something about it.

On a sidenote, the biggest german provider was trying to get money from services like Youtube for delivering their content. This rating turns it upside down :-)



Well, I'm on a resold Telekom VDSL connection, and so far all I see is "Results from your location are not yet available."

I've had major problems with YouTube videos in the past (despite having a very reliable 50Mbit down), but recently it's been fine.
