Sorry Louis, I got you confused with Sparkie the original poster.

You can find out where you are connected to by clicking the "Connection" link at the top of this very page. The second set of letters and numbers are an abbreviation of your hubsite and the number of the CMTS within the hubsite e.g. mine is BASF9 which is the ninth CMTS in the Basford, Nottingham hubsite. The first set of letters and numbers relate to which card you are connected to within the CMTS.

Peak time is usually the evenings (around 5-10pm). I also used to find that Sunday afternoon/evening was even worse when I was on an oversubscribed UBR.

I'm not sure about YouTube, it could be your PC or it could be your WIFI connection or it could be your router or it could be the cable connection. Lots of things really. You'd need to start narrowing down the cause by plugging your PC directly in to your modem and retesting. Also try using a different PC if you can. It could even be YouTube. Most videos I watch are fine but some buffer like crazy.
