YouTube Issuing "Report Cards" On Carriers' Streaming Speeds

Posted by Unknown on from the not-like-you-can-do-anything dept.

OakDragon (885217) writes In the shadow of the "Net Neutrality" debate, Google's YouTube has created a service to report on your carrier's usage and speed, summarizing the data in a "Lower/Standard/High Definition" graph. You may see the service offered when a video buffers or stutters. A message could display under the video asking "Experiencing interruptions? Find out why." Find your own provider's grade here.

    To change the location I believe you click the "Change Location" link next to where it has auto-detected your ISP/Location.

    No wonder you can't figure out how to scroll a web page...
