Hello AT&T forums. I have Uverse power, and there is never a problem with speedtest.net, nor any other webpages. Youtube's main page will sometimes load, sometimes not. But consistently, anytime I try to stream I have to wait 20seconds - 4 minutes of buffering to get only 240p video. That is if it doesn't time out after 2 minutes and spit out an error. I have even had youtube suggest that I should switch to comcast because my area scores very low HD performance with youtube on uverse. Icons will not load, the page will not let me comment because it is still loading. I cannot even click to say I am having video issues because the video player has locked up waiting for example 'googlevideo.com', or some other 'googlevideo' url.
What gives? I thought for sure this connection was going to be fine, and for the most part it is; but I cannot for the life of me stream youtube.

Are these what one would consider satisfactory statistics? I for one would be troubleshooting these errors, as I have seen my connection drop on DSL1 and have had times where rebooting the modem was the only hope to get youtube to work. But why just one website?
I also have seen ping loss to the AT&T DNS, sadly I have no recording of this event. I am frustrated being a new u-verse customer coming from comcast and never having an issue streaming youtube with the same computer until hooking it up to the u-verse modem. And we are talking a jump in connection speed, my comcast was 25Mbps, this uverse is (reported) double the speed.
