360p..... blink got worse since 4g... tstt networks cyah handle the load i think

[hustla_ambition101]

its all fun and games until flow stops flowing and you have no idea when service will be restored and calling is a woft, one thing to like with blink is the csrs are clueless, but they will try to help and if all fails, when a contractor visits your house, you get a new modem free

hmmm. no it's none of that.

Youtube uses something called DASH - Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP. Google's brilliant idea where they load the video in sections to make streaming more "efficient and targeted."

To disable it, use the extension for Firefox or Chrome called YouTube Centre and Youtube will return to the good old days of regular streaming, buffering and rewinding normally after pausing without rebuffering the entire video.

Vids load just fine on flow and digi which I think rules out DASH as the culprit.

before the lil pornos use to load up in a one, give it a 30 second to buffer at most an then yuh orn..now you have to wait like 4-5 forqin minutes for the least or else is buff countdown iymc

yep that's it. when you restart and go to youtube.com you will get a pop up page with the settings. lots of detail they took care of with this extension.

Bypassing DASH solves a lot of the loading and buffering problems.

Blink uses CAT6 cable for the Internet and cable. I think flow is solid CAT5. The cable blink uses is not properly shielded, it just have a thin shielding. Can't carry large amounts of data and is subjected to interference. Flow's cable can carry huge amounts data, and is well shielded. Please correct me if I am wrong.

[Richard Marshall]

The exchange always giving trouble too. That's why I switched to flow. it always shuts down, and blink never wants to compensate.

Where are they using the cat 6 that causes this problem?

Youtube on blink seems to be working good now, if it sticks, just refresh once.

ahhhh I knew it, the cat5 cable supposed to run outside the house, we've been doing it wrong all these years

[Richard Marshall]

Well please correct me. This is what a technician explain to me. That's why I asked for correction if I am wrong.
