Loading Video Problems?!?!!!

Blog Last Activity 11 years ago 443 views 3 comments
At first I thought it was my desk top, but now I'm on my laptop. Am I the only one having problems with videos loading? You're watching an interesting video and a few second or minutes later into it, there's a loading countdown. Makes me so mad! Is it me or is anyone else having this problem. There are some really good videos I want to see but I just have to give up looking at them. Thanks guys.

There could be several issues for vids which play slow or keep on buffering...first thing to be aware of is your personal DSL performance which you can check by doing a DSL spped test. My download speed is 31.897 kbit/s, the higher the performance the more you will have to pay for your DSL flat, I was recommended by my provider to choose this speed caus then vid clips and movies will run smooth without buffering and I rarely experience speed issues with GBT. With DSL speed 16.000 kbit/s you have a slow rate and you will experience speed issues and if your modem is a WLAN this slows the system even more, this is why I connect my computer with a cable to the modem. Spybot and virus programms that are of poor quality slow down your system as well as poor maintenance to your computer system. There are many free tools widespread in the net and some are good to help clear up and maintain your system.

Yeah ..GBT vids are like that most of the time...if it is a long vid I often download it first then watch it without the interruptions...for some reason downloading does not seem to be interrupted so often if at all.
