When I watch You tube videos they start off ok but then after I watch
a few they get stuck or they take forever to load. I just put them on pause while they are loading and go do something else.

Anyone else have this problem and does anyone know if there is a setting that can be changed to stop it?

1. My dear Maraya1969...
I used to have that problem ...

But not any more, not since I got my new computer with a lot more memory and computing power. We also have FIOS which might have something to do with it...

I don't know for sure if either of those factors would do it, though...

I remember being terribly annoyed at it!

Hope you can find a solution...

:hi:

2. Some ISPs limit bandwidth of some customers.

You see it most often when people are running peer to peer network downloads, but it happens sometimes on things like youtube also.

There is a slim chance that you have a bot running on your computer taking up bandwidth, or someone doing remote access also taking up bandwidth. Those are a couple rare causes of intermittent band width changes also.
