NTL: Poor youtube connections

Hi

I'm on a 10Mb NTL line which performs very well expect in one respect.
YouTube videos don't download fast enough to keep up with the playback.
Streaming videos from other sites such as the BBC are fine.

I get a consistent download rate of 800kps-900kps when downloading large
files.

Any suggestions as to what I can try?

Thanks

That might just be YouTube limiting the speed of transfer. They get
millions of hits a day and maybe just throttle the speed so the servers can
keep up.
I have one website for games trailers and they always pose a buffer problem
yet other sites are fine.
