Hi Russell, If you right click on a video while its playing you can select 'stats for nerds' it will show you the buffer health amongst other things which may be illuminating. Cheers Phil On 12/09/2026 1:20 pm, Russell Coker via luv-main wrote:
According to the above site my home Internet connection gets 530.46Mbps download and 45.87Mbps upload.
When watching YouTube at 1080p resolution at 2* speed with Google-Chrome as the browser I get timeouts.
What could be the cause of this? How would I go about diagnosing a problem of Internet speed that doesn't show up in speedtest.net?
Is there any FOSS software for checking link quality, something I could run on one of my servers and look for packet loss on high speed data transfers?
What are good ISPs nowadays?
I'm paying $95/month for Internode (now TPG) NBN. Having IPv6 is very important to me and I am willing to pay extra for that (options of saving money while not having IPv6 are not interesting to me). If I could pay less for the same level of service then that would be good. If I could pay the same to another ISP and get better reliability on Youtube then that would be good.
Any suggestions?
