I have been screaming at YouTube for being crap, especially lately. Five seconds of a video would play, then I'd get like a thirty-second pause -- with NO pre-load. I thought this was Google being even cheaper than they have been (doing away with total pre-loads) but now I find out it's been TWC! My god! They should be fined into non-existence.

I suspect Google makes more money from showing you ads than they would save on servers/bandwidth/etc by being skimpy.

  The odd thing is, on my primary desktop PC, I am rarely served ads. If I use a Win 7 notebook via WiFi, every YouTube video starts with an ad -- even if it's a video I just watched on the desktop that had no ad. Go figure...

I've been having a similar in Canada on Teksavvy DSL, but I'm not sure if it's network congestion because Bell is screwing TSI or if it's some youtube caching issue (or maybe both). If anyone on Teksavvy has a workaround, please let me know. Thanks.
