I have been conistantly having buffering issues with Youtube using my standard home ADSL connection (6Mbit from ATT – ADSL). Not a single video running 480p or higher will pre-load without me getting a buffering icon in the center of the screen. I have a ‘Network meter’ widget on my Windows 7 desktop, (for giggles) [...]

Since the advent of broadband speed internet that was available to the consumer, we’ve all heard of the term ‘bandwidth hog’.
