YouTube clips stop.

[anotheoldgit]

Why when playing a YouTube clip does it keep stopping occasionally as if waiting to catch up.

I have 2GB of ram, and plenty of disc space, also 10MB broadband?

Well you've answered it yourself - it's waiting to catch up.

Easiest solution is pause it, let it load, and then play.

Nothing to do with how good or bad your computer is.

Why do you doubt me?

Those good people at Virgin have recently upgraded me from 2MB to 10MB, free of charge.

Doesn't matter how good your broadband is either - if it's crap at the start (sometimes is) it'll be crap on it's way to you.

'buffering'... wait for it to load fully.

Not quite sure what you mean, your link readings went off the screen before I could write them down or understand.

This is the message I received from Virgin:

We�ve speeded up your service from up to 2Mb to up to 10Mb. Which isn�t just fast - it�s blisteringly fast! It�s all part of our plan to bring our broadband power to the people.

Hi AOG,

Any Internet download is only as fast as the slowest link in the chain. If there is a slow section between you and YouTube then the problem may be there.

RoaldoM s also correct when he says UP TO 10 mb. I have the same problem as you. Check the Gadget Show website for more details.
