Patchy flash video streaming
Hi all,
I have installed a Win7 Ultimate RTM trial on my pc and connected it to my Internode NakedADSL2+ Ultra net connection. It is an 18Mbit connection with cat6 cables and when downloading a test file from Internode's servers pulls about 1200kB/s.
I have noticed, ever since running 7085, that youtube and other video streaming sites (including facebook, collegehumour, etc.) that the buffering is very patchy. It does not seem to matter if it is a flash or vimeo or any other kind of video streaming. Often times, I will be watching a video and the progress bar will catch up with the buffering and simply stop buffering. Then when I try to re-watch the video, the already buffered material is in the cache and that is all that loads. It does not continue buffering from where it stopped. Very annoying!
I also have a machine with XP which buffers much quicker and with minimal interruptions.
Can anyone help with this and has anyone noticed the same thing?
