YouTube names slow Internet providers for laggy videos
Google's video quality report is a new website showing off the general video playback quality for certain ISPs in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand

MANILA, Philippines – Depending on where you live, YouTube may eventually tell you that your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is to blame for laggy video.

Quartz reports that YouTube may now add links to its video quality report when certain users are suffering from laggy videos.

The video quality report is a new website provided by Google and YouTube showing off the general video playback quality for certain ISPs in particular countries.

For instance, users in New York can read a report about the various ISPs in the area and their quality when it comes to showing different types of videos and the best quality for viewing for a given ISP.

Google’s Video Quality Report website currently covers just the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand though it may grow to be a new initiative in itself.

YouTube appears to also be preparing certification for YouTube HD Verified ISPs – providers that can reliably offer HD video from YouTube receive a seal of approval from the company. – Rappler.com
