One of the things I forgot about a virgin media connection, is I can't ever seem to stream any youtube videos, without constant buffering issues.

It's odd, because on our sky unlimited (19mb down, 1mb up) connection, I've never had a problem with youtube.

Now I've returned to Virgin, I'm noticing the same problems again

I just uploaded this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KK_KnQnah7o

On my virgin connection, the only quality which lets me stream, is the 240/320p

If I use any other, it buffers every 3-4 seconds

And yet, on my sky connection, it doesn't buffer at all

so is there any workaround that people know of? Perhaps a proxy?
