Youtube Framerate Drops

[Zales]

I figured that I would post this here as it could potentially be linked to my hardware or internet.

So recently when I try to watch 720pHD60fps videos on YouTube the framerate will drop dramatically. For example, just a moment ago I tried to watch a video (in the resolution that I just said) and in just 3 seconds 800/860 frames had been skipped.

This is not the first time that this has happened. Over the last few days I have been getting these frame drops, which has pushed me to just not watch YouTube.

Surprisingly, this issue's first occurance was maybe a month or two ago, which was fixed with a quick refresh of the page. After that incident, it never happened again until recently.

I thought that maybe the problem was that I was still using the old Beta version of the current YouTube version (this is the one that was popular because it added in the "Dark" feature), so I cleared all of my internet history so that I would be able to get the new version, and it was still having problems.

Has anyone else ran into a problem like this? I would really like to fix it quickly as the only other way for me to watch YouTube is with my phone, but it is awkward to hold sometimes and doesn't exactly have the ability to show a lot of detail.

Here are some basic speed recommendations for streaming

How is your computer connected to your home network? Wired or wireless?

The first thing I would do is turn off all other devices in your home that may be using bandwidth. Then try streaming from your computer on youtube. If you get the same thing, then it may be a hardware/software issue on your computer.

Also, if that fiber cable has been already installed along your street, I would contact them. They may not have been notified that you were building a house. An ISP will generally not charge you anything for the installation to your home, but you may need to sign a contract for a certain length of time without incurring a penalty.

Yes. Fiber might be the only way. I would suggest to trying out https://www.cablemover.com/ first to see if you can get cable. It is expensive I know but it is really good. It is better if you have your own modem too. To get fiber, you might have to paying the labor cost too. They're very expensive internet. It is called FiOS (Fiber Optic service)

DSL is digital subscriber line that you bassically using old school phone port, but it is connected to DSL modem. You can using phone while on internet that dail up can't.

My family doesn't have the money for a Fiber Optic Cable line. Apparently, beforre we got our house, they ran a line down my street, but since that there was no body living here or something we didn't get the cable, so basically every house but ours on our street has access to it, but we don't.

Understandable. So your bet is to trying upgrade speed DSL if possible. It is going cost more I know but might worth it to do. I remember had radio internet service in my family home. It is super slow. Youtube lag often.

Like rotNdude said, trying to turning off all other devices.

I've had similar issues with 1080p60 video. Seems the old fossil I used for a GPU simply couldn't cope, so ended up installing h264ify to hobble the auto-detection.

Any chance the two things could be related?

If the video is locked to 30fps (which some videos are. I even watch a guy who has some set to 50fps) then you will get 30fps.

It does not has 720p60 or 1080p60 can mean it is only 30 FPS. As my experince, i know very few people who went from wireless internet to DSL, then they got fed and returned to wireless internet.
