I am in Midlothian VA, near Richmond.
This crap is driving me crazy. Youtube is my second most visited site after Google search itself. Which is a shame, because I can barely watch Youtube on FIOS. It's pure luck whether or not it's going to let me watch. I don't mean it takes a long time to load either; it just doesn't load videos at all, a great deal of the time.
I've already gone through support and had them waste my time with fixes that did absolutely nothing. I first got fed up with it back around April 2013. At some point after that the problem seemed to go away so I forgot about it. It is now September 2013 and I can't watch Youtube again.
If this keeps happening, I'm afraid I'm going to have to switch back to Comcast. I don't care for Comcast, but at least I could watch Youtube.
This really sucks. I have absolutely no problem with ANYTHING else. All websites are perfect, gaming, etc is just perfect, BUT YOUTUBE is IMPOSSIBLE with FIOS.
We are talking about FIOS! Why must it be this way? Verizon, step up your game.
