3. Bypass ISP Throttling
Few days ago when I was searching for tricks to increase buffering speed of YouTube, I found a network tweak for Windows that makes some esoteric changes to the firewall which blocks a big range of IP addresses. To configure this, follow below steps.- Click Start, type cmd, right click on the icon and Run as Administrator to open the command prompt.
- If you see a UAC prompt, click Yes.
- Copy this command: netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=”YoutubeBufferTrick” dir=in action=block remoteip=173.194.55.0/24,206.111.0.0/16 enable=yes
- Right click in the command prompt and select Paste.
- Hit Enter.
netsh advfirewall firewall delete rule name=”YoutubeBufferTrick”
Since this trick blocks a wide range of IP addresses, you may run into a site every once in a while that’s blocked by this trick. Use at your own discretion!
At Last - Guys these are some top ways to increase YouTube buffering speed. In the end, one truth remains that your YouTube buffering speed will always be capped by your actual Internet speed. No matter how many tricks you are using. So for best results I will recommend you to use a fast internet connection. I hope you have liked the article.
