I just got home and tested with quite a few 1080p videos. No issues over my Hurricane Electric IPv6 tunnel. I did notice frequent stops to buffer on my FiOS IPv4 connection. I have a 50 Mbps down connection and don't even come close to maxing it when watching Youtube videos. Here are a few traceroutes: [2.1-BETA0][root@pfsense]/root(1): traceroute r19---sn-p5qlsm7d.c.youtube.com traceroute to r19.sn-p5qlsm7d.c.youtube.com (208.117.251.184), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 L100.HRBGPA-VFTTP-12.verizon-gni.net (98.117.0.1) 1.222 ms 1.348 ms 0.834 ms 2 G10-0-8-112.HRBGPA-LCR-01.verizon-gni.net (130.81.184.148) 2.839 ms 2.589 ms 2.443 ms 3 P12-0-0.HRBGPA-LCR-02.verizon-gni.net (130.81.27.185) 14.880 ms 14.614 ms 14.698 ms 4 so-12-1-0-0.RES-BB-RTR1.verizon-gni.net (130.81.28.254) 14.647 ms 14.696 ms 14.552 ms 5 0.xe-3-1-1.BR1.IAD8.ALTER.NET (152.63.37.141) 15.027 ms 15.004 ms 15.064 ms 6 te9-2-0d0.cir1.ashburn-va.us.xo.net (206.111.0.201) 38.517 ms 36.033 ms 34.816 ms 7 216.156.8.189.ptr.us.xo.net (216.156.8.189) 31.958 ms 30.994 ms 29.194 ms 8 209.48.42.86 (209.48.42.86) 124.931 ms 126.117 ms 124.303 ms 9 208.117.251.184 (208.117.251.184) 26.483 ms 27.792 ms 27.974 ms [2.1-BETA0][root@pfsense]/root(2): traceroute r15---sn-p5qlsm76.c.youtube.com traceroute to r15.sn-p5qlsm76.c.youtube.com (208.117.251.148), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 L100.HRBGPA-VFTTP-12.verizon-gni.net (98.117.0.1) 1.077 ms 0.863 ms 0.968 ms 2 G10-0-8-112.HRBGPA-LCR-01.verizon-gni.net (130.81.184.148) 2.429 ms 2.265 ms 2.456 ms 3 P12-0-0.HRBGPA-LCR-02.verizon-gni.net (130.81.27.185) 14.788 ms 14.666 ms 14.643 ms 4 so-12-1-0-0.RES-BB-RTR1.verizon-gni.net (130.81.28.254) 14.591 ms 14.479 ms 16.041 ms 5 0.xe-10-0-0.BR2.IAD8.ALTER.NET (152.63.38.165) 15.007 ms 15.109 ms 14.975 ms 6 144.232.8.209 (144.232.8.209) 187.038 ms 115.363 ms 117.669 ms 7 sl-st31-ash-0-4-0-0.sprintlink.net (144.232.28.6) 116.263 ms sl-st31-ash-0-8-0-2.sprintlink.net (144.232.1.19) 116.491 ms sl-st31-ash-0-4-0-0.sprintlink.net (144.232.28.6) 116.934 ms 8 sl-googl10-584821-0.sprintlink.net (144.228.205.34) 122.521 ms 122.780 ms 121.535 ms 9 208.117.251.148 (208.117.251.148) 33.669 ms 37.652 ms 38.478 ms [2.1-BETA0][root@pfsense]/root(6): traceroute r10---sn-p5qlsm7l.c.youtube.com traceroute to r10.sn-p5qlsm7l.c.youtube.com (208.117.251.47), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 L100.HRBGPA-VFTTP-12.verizon-gni.net (98.117.0.1) 1.159 ms 0.831 ms 0.806 ms 2 G9-0-4-212.HRBGPA-LCR-02.verizon-gni.net (130.81.139.126) 2.396 ms 2.435 ms 2.167 ms 3 so-12-1-0-0.RES-BB-RTR1.verizon-gni.net (130.81.28.254) 14.497 ms 14.767 ms 14.695 ms 4 0.xe-11-0-0.BR2.IAD8.ALTER.NET (152.63.38.169) 15.001 ms 15.074 ms 15.024 ms 5 144.232.8.209 (144.232.8.209) 118.582 ms 116.717 ms 113.669 ms 6 sl-st31-ash-0-4-0-3.sprintlink.net (144.232.3.169) 114.433 ms 117.698 ms sl-st31-ash-0-4-0-0.sprintlink.net (144.232.28.6) 115.981 ms 7 sl-googl10-584821-0.sprintlink.net (144.228.205.34) 123.912 ms 124.402 ms 125.384 ms 8 208.117.251.47 (208.117.251.47) 30.591 ms 30.676 ms 29.528 ms Derek On 3/6/2013 8:31 PM, Grant Ridder wrote:
Can any one provide traceroutes to youtube to see if there is any correlation between last mile providers?

I don't think it's just Time Warner. Definitely looks like XO. I have Verizon FiOS and it was pretty bad for me as well (not sure if it still is since I'm not home right now). There's also atleast two threads in the Verizon FiOS section on Broadband Reports:
