Not positive where to post this, so I thought Windows 7 would work. Anyway, when browsing Youtube (doesn't happen on any other websites) it runs very slowly. When I click on videos, it takes a while for them to pop up, and when I go to the main screen, even longer. Also, when videos initially load, they are only in 144p, but when I change to a higher res, it loads no problem.

Here's a quick demo of this problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKVsVq7dD-k

My internet speeds in my area are very good, with 126 mbps download, and 12 mbps upload.

I'm a bit stumped as to what the problem may be. Any thoughts?
