Rushnut

Recently my Youtube has started to splutter and buffer for up to a second every few seconds, which is incredibly annoying.

I'm 100% sure my internet is fine and capable of loading, and what's weirdest is that the moment I tab check Youtube, it instantly loads the rest of the song and plays perfectly normally. The issue only seems to come around if a new song on my playlist ticks without me checking the window.

Does anyone have any solutions?

I'm using the latest Chrome /w the latest Ad Block.

Rushnut	Didn't help I'm afraid. Once again I feel I should state, my net CAN handle Youtube perfectly fine, it shouldn't be having this issue. It didn't happen until just a few days ago, and it's been annoying me ever since. But the moment I check on it to see what's up, it just instantly starts to buffer properly.

Rushnut	I have actually found a temporary fix, I simply have Youtube always up on my second monitor. But it'd still be nice to have it not happen in the first place.

Tag.You.Are.Pregnant	My twin uses firefox and I use chrome. We didn't really agree to do that, it just happened. It was probably a telepathic deal we've made somewhere in the past as to not mix up our porn history.

Boxcar	Some isps throttle streaming, i blocked a couple IP ranges that were slowing my connection and haven't had a problem since, and I have time Warner cable.

NNAAAAHH	Youtube has been doing the same for me of late. I figure it's just them messing up with updates again.

Rushnut	I find it pretty humerus, it's like, HE'S NOT LOOKING DICKABOUTDICKABOUTDICKABOUT, but then like a teacher snapping her head around, you check on it, and everything starts to behave again.
