People make the same claims about Comcast. It could be an issue with Youtube. Or it could be the route your packets are taking to get to youtube. Maybe do a tracert and see where the issue is that way. See if its on the ISP network or if its further down the chain. 

After a week of Youtube only using 800-1000 kbps. After I called Time Warner last night I woke up and Youtube is using all of my download speed. Not sure what the problem was but it seems to be solved.

I have Time Warner internet. I achieved a speed of 36/6 Mbps. But when I go to Youtube, it only uses 600-1000 kbps of my internet speed and I am not able to watch anything in better quality than 360p. But, when I watch Netflix, browse the web, etc. It uses as much bandwidth as possible. I know there probably isn't, but, is there a way I can get Youtube to use more bit rate. This issue has only occurred in the past week. I have tried to reset my modem/router countless times, call Time Warner, and even different web browsers. I currently use Google Chrome. 

 

Thanks for any help!

I assume this is with your computer. Do you have a wireless device? How does it work?

My computer is hooked up with a Ethernet cable. Same thing is happening with phones and tablets.

Wasn't there a law passed that doesn't allow internet companies to throttle anymore?

People make the same claims about Comcast. It could be an issue with Youtube. Or it could be the route your packets are taking to get to youtube. Maybe do a tracert and see where the issue is that way. See if its on the ISP network or if its further down the chain. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
