So, today we went to our ISP to get a new, faster 28mbit connection (as opposed to the old 512kbit one), and they asctivated it straight away.
When i get home, I thought I'd try it out, and went to speedtest.net, and got a mere 5 mbit out of it. I rebooted my router, and got the full speed (About 15mbit). Sweet, I thought, and went to YouTube to see if I could stream videos properly, which has barely worked on the old connection. This is where the troubles start.
I get onto YouTube, and the site runs faster than ever, until I get to actually playing a video. It buffers for about 20 secons, and plays for 10. Buffers for 20, plays for 10. Ok, maybe the YouTube servers are overloaded, but no, I've tried many times at different times and videos. Same result. Ok, maybe I need to reconfigure this thing, it's been a while since I last visited that horrible setup web-interface. But, lo and behold, the setup can't be accessed! Not even resetting to factory settings works.
Everything else works flawlessly, I downloaded a 720p movie in under an hour, but I don't know what to do about the YouTube problem, and that I can't access the setup. Halp?

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
