Hi Russell,

If you right click on a video while its playing you can select 'stats for nerds' it will show you the buffer health amongst other things which may be illuminating.

Cheers Phil

According to the above site my home Internet connection gets 530.46Mbps
download and 45.87Mbps upload.

When watching YouTube at 1080p resolution at 2* speed with Google-Chrome as
the browser I get timeouts.

What could be the cause of this?  How would I go about diagnosing a problem of
Internet speed that doesn't show up in speedtest.net?

Is there any FOSS software for checking link quality, something I could run on
one of my servers and look for packet loss on high speed data transfers?

What are good ISPs nowadays?

I'm paying $95/month for Internode (now TPG) NBN.  Having IPv6 is very
important to me and I am willing to pay extra for that (options of saving
money while not having IPv6 are not interesting to me).  If I could pay less
for the same level of service then that would be good.  If I could pay the
same to another ISP and get better reliability on Youtube then that would be
good.

Any suggestions?
