Putty Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Someone sent me some IPs to block in Windows firewall to stop the throttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ry_Trapp01647545522 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 does TWC do actual throttling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshymkiw83 Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 does TWC do actual throttling? When I left, no. The CDN networks do throttle, because they don't have the amount of bandwidth they actually need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizin01 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Seemed to work for me on TWC. Ive had issues streaming utube videos for as long as I can remember. They would never buffer fast enough to watch without stopping. Watched a handful just now with no issues. THX! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furloaf Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Still works great for me. I used the router method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Follow up: since doing this videos will not begin to play for an abnormally long time, like 15-20 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshymkiw83 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Why this has no relevance to TWC Internet: 173.194.55.0/24 you are blocking is Google Owned IP Space. This isn't anything TWC would be pushing to you. This is what Youtube/Google sends to you, as it is part of it's CDN Network. 206.111.0.0/16 you are blocking XO Communications owned IP Space. This has 0 to do with TWC - what it has to do with is how the CDN load balances, and limits connections to Youtube. Youtube also does "JITD" - or Just In Time Video Delivery, which sends small amount of the video each time. This is to prevent people from starting a download and canceling it. They also do Dynamic Bandwidth Shaping on their videos. I would imagine blocking the IP Space listed has more to do with blocking load balancers, etc... which perform these tasks, which is why you see a more fluid download.

Furloaf Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) Youtube is back to being a COMPLETE piece of shit for me. The past few days it has gotten progressively worse until now where it won't even load 360p videos more than about 30 seconds. Apparently the fix is to setup DNS rules to where it strictly goes to the Youtube/Google content delivery servers. It's kind of complicated for my router, but I'll look into it... (a Youtube blackout could really help my productivity in the mean time lol) Edit: I changed my router to use OpenDNS and Google DNS (208.67.222.222, 208.67.222.220 ; 8.8.8.8 respectively) and it seems to have helped a little. The idea in using those is that it might not use Time Warner's / your ISPs preferred CDN providers and use something that actually works.
