Weird, I could have used this thread four days ago. I cancelled my newly purchased 18mb/s uverse account because youtube (and only youtube) was taking 20+ minutes to download 5 minute videos. I switched over the Brighthouse (division of time warner I believe) because I still had an account and everything was fine. When I contacted AT&T, all they did was tell me that youtube was to blame and that I could purchase a tech support contract. I declined :).

- ryanhuff 14y agoMy YouTube experience with uverse has been very frustrating of late. I routinely get streaming freezing, even on lower resolution streams. I have been considering a switch to Time Warner, but perhaps that's not the best solution.
- altcognito 14y agoI checked the speed link given by the ex-youtube engineer and it showed that Brighthouse was actually faster. Those are the exact symptoms I was having (freezing -- basically zero download speed, not that the rendering stop taking place) Not surprisingly enough, I think that it is very location dependent on what ISP provides the best connectivity to a given service (e.g.: the internet is very, very complicated network and it is hard to sum of the performance of any point to point connection with one data point)
