Have probs viewing vids from start to finish, plays ok but keeps stopping every few secs and takes quite a long time to watch a vid from start to finish, how do i solve this so it plays without stopping all the time? thanks

Sounds like you have a slow connection so researching the reason for that is the way forward. It could be that you live too far from the exchange to get a decent connection but as the demands of YouTube are not heavy it is more likely that your ISP is to blame. Who is it?0

Hi
Many people have trouble watching YouTube videos (including me) because their internet connection can't handle it.
I often download the videos onto my computer, then watch them, then delete them.
It's less stressful.

Click to watch a clip then pause it. Your PC will then download it. Once this has happened (you can tell by the red line being completed) you can then unpause it and it will play without interuption.0

BT and most ISP's in fact throttle Youtube and video/audio streaming traffic during peak hours. Try the same video's at midnight and im betting it'll work fine.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”
