Google blames slow YouTube videos for Internet service providers

Google has just tested a new feature when giving information explaining why a YouTube video does not open or is running very slowly.

However, it is not worth mentioning that if Google is not only straightforward, the cause of making their YouTube videos slow is due to the fault of the Internet provider. At the same time, this feature also suggests users to check video quality when using different Internet providers. For example, in the picture is Google's suggestion of the quality of transmission of Internet service provider Time Warner Cable in New York City.

After analyzing it, Google made the comment that Time Warner Cable 's transmission was only capable of running well on normal quality videos on YouTube and that it would be difficult to transmit high-definition videos.

This tactic has also been used by Netflix online music service a few weeks ago. Netflix 's Vox Media users have received a message of blame for the Verizon network that made the video slow.

The announcement really made Verizon " angry ", they asked Netflix to compensate and immediately terminate such announcements because Verizon said the slow video error does not have to originate from the line. Netflix finally had to stop those messages but explained it was a test of the service and it was completed.

The question is why video services entice Internet providers to get in the way? Maybe this comes from the recent idea of ​​the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) when they think that some Internet service providers have to pay if they want a " fast line " for the service. mine. For example, YouTube has to pay for Time Warner Cable to be able to provide the best service to its customers.

Another concern, however, is that paying Internet providers will enable large companies to grow further and " squeeze" the development efforts of small-scale services. hybrid This will reduce fair competition and, in the long run, not benefit consumers.

Particularly for content providers like YouTube and Netflix , they always want that all users enjoy their services with the same quality and can shake hands with Internet providers. is a solution they are aiming for.
