Time Warner Cable YouTube throttling
I just got home and tested with quite a few 1080p videos. No issues over
my Hurricane Electric IPv6 tunnel. I did notice frequent stops to buffer
on my FiOS IPv4 connection. I have a 50 Mbps down connection and don't
even come close to maxing it when watching Youtube videos.
Here are a few traceroutes:
