It also shows the ISP/Network speed over time on YouTube.

Click show test video, and then change the quality to 480p.
Let us know what speed you're getting (shown next to HTTP) at the first 10 seconds of the video. If the video has fully buffered it will show 0 since nothing else will be streamed.

Once done in 480p, give 720p a shot. If you are on a Netbook or low-end computer not capable on 720p please exclude this.

480p, getting around 28000-38000 kbps
720p, getting around 17000-30000 kbps

30Mb, using Superhub with "Very Good" signal strength (on other side of house).
At this time I get a very steady 50000kbps through all qualities and youtube in general at this time is great everything streams with no problems but when it hits evening through to about midnight speeds seem to hit a brick wall all of a sudden where I can only get about 500kbps and have to wait for pretty much every video to buffer.

I still personally think its congestion on Virgins network.
