Last evening, as reported in a previous email, Everything was fine, router showed 14 Mb/s, speed test showed 11.7 Mb/s and the Youtube videos were fine.Okay, Even with TalkTalk Fibre I sometimes have an Issue with YouTube video streaming. Obviously it isn't a case of not enough bandwidth on my part I'm sure 40Mbps is fast enough to stream so I'd say perhaps there is something wrong with YouTube, unlikely - but your symptoms are not uncommon. I didn't phone TalkTalk that would have been suicide, I turned my router off over night and changed the filters, haven't had a problem since. Infact, I think others here can say why turning router off over night is a good thing, my limited knowledge says it helps clear static or feedback on the line. Have you tried adjusting your MTU settings to something lower?
Just checked now, 1 pm. Router still at 14 Mb/s. Speed test gives me 3.2 Mb/s (that is not a typo) and the Youtube videos are crashing again. From previous use of my set up I expect that some time later today it will all go back to what I call normal and will all work just fine.
It does suggest a contention problem somewhere. Neil -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
