Is it just me or does YouTube video always buffer horrendously?

This video did keep stopping and starting but Youtube usually
works okay for me.

Just think of what it will be like with millions of Internet radios
connected;!...

Couldn't unicast solve some of the congestion problems?


Presumably you mean multicast? ;-)


Also, I would
worry more about the increasingly popular video streaming...


The speed of Internet routers has followed Moore's Law religiously
from 1986 up to a couple of years ago (the graph that I saw only
went up to a couple of years ago). So even if they don't follow
Moore's Law going forward, you'd still expect the speed of routers
to continue to increase at a fast rate, and it's the speed of the
routers that determines the speed of the Internet backbone, because
the fibre optic cable itself can handle any speed you throw at it
(fibre optic cable has a theoretical capacity of about 10 Tbps). And
Japan and South Korea are rapidly switching over to using 100 Mbps
broadband, and the rest of the world follows whatever they do first.

Don't you think its also related to that lump of old wire thats been
there since 1896 odd has something to do with it;!...


Only the contention ratio side of it, which isn't due to the wire itself.

Beg pardon guv but that old bit of wire is the real limiting factor and
how long it is affects the BB speed. I don't know anyone who's getting
the much vaunted 8 megs even someone who's a couple of hundred yards
from the exchange!...


So the Internet is continuing to get faster,

Yes?..

No has been but has now stalled. Cable delivered net can be faster as
they go about it in a different way..



At the beginning of the decade virtually everybody was on dial-up. About 3-4
years ago virtually everybody with broadband was on 512k. Now the vast
majority are on up to 8 Mbps I'd imagine

Al of people would like that rather than imagine;!..

, and BT is rolling out ADSL2+ (up
to 24 Mbps) to its exchanges from early next year and it'll have finished
rolling it out by 2010/11.

Yes and will it all be 24 doubt it somehow;!..

So yes, absolutely it's getting faster, but it's just that people become
used to what they've got, but if you went back to dial-up for a week you
wouldn't be happy!
