YouTube is probably the bottleneck in this. YouTube doesn't have a unlimited upload speed, and when many people are on, it's slowing down a lot.

Youtube is messing up like there is no tomorrow at the moment.

This sounds like a similar thing with twitch, even if the video is fully loaded it will lag making it seem like a problem with the computer rather than internet speed

YouTube is not sucking; your ISPs are. Take a look at this and replace France Telecom with your ISPs name.

Peering is the biggest battle happening right now between CDNs/Tier 1 providers and ISPs.

As long as YouTube refuses to pay for the [massive] network usage it's generating, ISPs will keep throttling.

 

And no, I'll not get into the net neutrality debate, haha !

 

EDIT : Even though I work for an ISP, I find it outrageous that the customers have to pay the price of business decisions !
