Is it my internet or computer thats slow with videos?

Question

Everytime i go to youtube i have to wait for ever just so i could watch it because it wont "download" or how ever you want to put it. Is it my internet or computer? Can i do anything to make it faster?

Answer 1

our dsl is 200+mbps

videos are ready in 10 seconds

sounds like your ISP

Answer 2

If the video is taking forever to load, it is an internet problem. There are a couple of ways you can fix this.

1. Get a better ISP. If you have dial-up, its obviously time to get broadband.

2. If you already have broadband, try getting a new modem. I remember when I replaced my 2-3 year old modem, regular download speeds jumped up from 100mbs average to 400mbs average.

3. If that doesn't work, try to get a Cat-5 ethernet cable. A Cat-5 cable has a higher capability to transfer data, so it will go faster. You can get one of these at any local Best Buy/Circuit City type place, just ask a clerk where they are.

Hope This Helps!
