endless buffering on Youtube and Twitch.tv

FIOS isn't very impressive if you want to watch HD video on Youtube or Twitch.

I guess they can't afford to pay for interconnects like Netflix.

About the best I can get is 480p on Youtube during the evenings.

**bleep** Verizon

What region are you in? Both work amazingly in the Buffalo area on FiOS and DSL.

I used to see some issues with the actiontec rev. i, but ever since getting the new greenwave gateway I havent had any on either wifi or wired.

You might want to find out why you are having issues. Could be a lot of things causing it.

I'm in PA and am having the EXACT same issues with YouTube. Like the original poster said, I can watch anyting in 480 or lower but as soon as I bump it up (720/1080) it is endless buffering (both direct wired and WiFi). Been going on for a few days now. I wish I could DUMP FiOS internet and just keep the TV (which I love), FiOS internet is the pits.

In General things have improved dramaticly since they fixed the problems associated with Netflix. But there are always some exceptions.  Could be some problem with a server/servers in your neck of the woods.

I'm in PA as well,  same issue on youtube. Go on VPN and it works fine. Been going on for quite a few days now... hope it ends soon.

Pretty sure its not from Verizon though, it seems like the PA youtube server (Or however google's network is setup) is having some issues.
