Many of you (mainly in the USA/Canada) have ISP's that throttle Youtube streaming, which makes it slower.

Blocking two simple IP ranges will speed up your Youtube streaming.

Mac OSX: Go to terminal and run these two commands.

Code

sudo ipfw add reject src-ip 173.194.55.0/24 in
sudo ipfw add reject src-ip 206.111.0.0/16 in

Linux: Go to terminal and run these two commands

Code

sudo iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dest 173.194.55.0/24 -j DROP
sudo iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dest 206.111.0.0/16 -j DROP

Basically this blocks the cache servers so your PC directly grabs the content from YouTube.

For Windows block the IP's in your firewall, or your router.

There are tons of articles online that explains this, I just thought I'd throw it out here.

The original Reddit thread is here http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comme...ly_stream/

It says it's for Time Warner but I'm in Canada and this worked for me as well.
