		morrad on Jan 22, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Google Video Quality Report I have TWC and have had a lot of success in speeding up Youtube by blocking access to the caching servers that TWC uses. If I block 206.111.0.0/16, I can stream at full speed. See: http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/13kmvd/have_time...

I tried blocking some of the relevant IP ranges, but it seemed like it wouldn't fallback or something. Instead of getting perfect streaming quality, I would not be able to load the youtube video at all
