Telstra's subsidiary in New Zealand was also at the bottom of all rankings, but this week they installed the Google cache boxes to mask the issue.
YouTube now hits 3-5Mbps for me. At start of playback it appears to burst a chunk of video, and as it gets close to needing to buffer, it bursts another chunk.
Maybe the Australian parent should look into it, it helps a lot.
I can actually watch 720p and higher without having to pause and come back in 10 minutes.
