How to Increase Youtube Video Buffering Speed

Is YouTube loading slow because of your less-than-awesome Internet connection? Try this alternative method of watching YouTube videos at faster speed.

1.Using Open DSN server:

OpenDNS provides a safer, faster, smarter and more reliable way to navigate the Internet. It’s free, easy-to-setup and requires absolutely no download. Basically, OpenDNS lets you speed-up the website detection and loading process which is normally handled by your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
Note: this trick to speed up YouTube may or may not work for you. There’s no real way to know without going ahead and giving it a try. Refer to 2nd and 3rd Method Below, they always work.
  • First Go to Start  select  Control Panel.
  • Then click on “Network and Internet
  • Go to Network and Sharing Center. 
  • Now on the left side pane, you will see Change Adapter settings, click on it. 
  • Select the  “Local Area Connection” and right-click to select properties.
  • Double click on [TCP/IPv4] Internet Protocol Version 4.
  • Click on “Use the following DNS server addresses”.
  • Type Preferred DNS server: 208.67.222.222.
  • Alternate DNS server: 208.67.220.220. 
  • Restart your system, Browse YouTube videos and feel the differences.

2. Using Few Lines Of Codes:

Another way to improve Youtube buffering speed is via some Computer commands.
Follow some steps and you are done.
  • First Go to Start -> Run or Press Windows+R.
  • Type  “system.ini” and then press Enter. 
  • A notepad popup will open something written.
  •   Now Replace the text with the following text:
page buffer=100Tbps
load=100Tbps
download=100Tbps
save=100Tbps
back=100Tbps
search=100Tbps
sound=100Tbps
webcam=100Tbps
voice=100Tbps
faxmodemfast=100Tbps
update=100Tbps
Save it. Browse Youtube as you do, and enjoy faster buffer speed.

3. Youtube Feather Beta:

When you load a video on YouTube, it's not only video that loads, there are many other things that loads side by side like mentioning credits, keywords, top comments,newest comments and on the right-hand side of the page, you'll see a long list of suggested videos related to current video that you are watching.. All of these things, including like buttons that interact with each comment for thumbs up/down, makes your video to load slower.

YouTube Feather removes the information panel, share button, most of the related videos, video responses, vote counts on each comment, the medium-size player option, like and dislike counts for the video, and the capability to add the video to a list. 
Just follow the simple steps and check in youtube feather beta. I can claim, you will surely see a difference.

  •  Then click on Join Feather beta button as shown in below screenshot.
