OT: Youtube via AT&T, anyone else have problems?

Wise words. When we think about what's really important in life, the Internet surely doesn't rank too high. Just came back from a mountain bike ride, sans Internet connection yet happy as a fish in the water.

I know and it is also how the people who make videos make money, which is also why I turn it off for some channels.

The commercials used to be no problem but when some started putting minute long ads you can't skip before the videos I had enough

youtube does odd things sometimes, I've had day where no videos would start, plugged in a wireless modem (another provider) and everything works fine

couple of days later back to normal

I don't know if maybe they do some kind of local caching on different networks that occasionally goes haywire

Multitask. Do something else while the video is playing. Restart if necessary. Sorta like a DVR for the Internet.

I don't think so. I get adverts for local products.

I think it must else how would the skip button work?

They're different video streams, one served up from the advertiser. That's why adblockers work. Most of the time, the player requests the ad, then when it finishes (whether immediately due to internet or blocking-induced connectivity problems, or naturally), everything resumes as normal. Some players / stream viewers are popping up nag screens these days though.

A bit late and I haven't really been following the thread, but this may be of some help:

I've never seen that alert bar even though it should be obvious to the site that someone is trying to access a certain video and then the data stream always fails.
