AVOlio wroteIs ogero Limiting the speed on Youtube?
My internet speed reaches 25mbps, but when watching youtube, i can only see the video using 13mbps max when i open the stats on the video.
Why would you need a higher speed on YouTube? 13 Mbps is more than what you need to buffer a Full HD.
"For streaming HD (720p) content, you'll need at least 2.5Mbps speed, for full HD videos, minimum speed requirement is 4Mbps, whereas for 4K UHD content, you need an internet connection with minimum speed of at least 15Mbps."
So, If you don't have a 4K display, it is not worth it to buffer a 4K Movie. It will increase your consumption for nothing. Now, even if you set it for Full HD, You might notice that the speed is reaching 13 Mbps, and that is only to buffer into the cache.
