    So, Finally I Got Road Runner Turbo To Play Mwf2 On My M17x, Its Wiked Fast, I Can Have 100% Signal All Over My House, But, When I Try To Play A You Tube Video, It Just Plays Every Seconds And Loads, ???? I Played Videos On My Crappy College Network Just Fine, Even With The Hd Enabled Even On My Friends Crappy 1mbps Speed Can Play Youtube Videos, And I Have A 16mbps Speed And Cant Play A You Tube Video, And The Funny Part Its That This Problem Its Only With Youtube And Google Videos, After Researching A Little I Found Out That A Lot Of People Are Having This Problem, Are Any One Else Having This Kind Of Problem ?? Sorry For The Caps Lock, I Just Found Out That It Was On :)

    Are you getting the download speeds you should be getting?

    ( http://www.speedtest.net to test)

    If you are, try loading videos from places other than YouTube. (MySpace Video, Google Video - non YouTube, etc.) Sometimes YouTube is a little slow. I have a 100 mb/s connection and I still get skips in videos there occasionally. :p

    Well, it wouldn't surprise me, but I've never used Time Warner Cable. ATT / Comcast seem to be reliable without throttling the connection too much. If you have Comcast as an option I would use them simply because they have 250gb/month bandwidth instead of 100 gb/month (ATT).
