Are you facing difficulties in watching one complete video without having to halt and wait for it to buffer after every few minutes?
YouTube provides you with a new tool to check out the performance of your connection and get an estimate of the time you might need to watch an average video online. This tool known as YouTube’s video speed dashboard works on the basis of numbers calculated according the speed of reception of a video by the browser. The numerals of the speeds thus calculated for a particular internet browser are then averaged for a month and presented as the average speed.
However, it is to be noted that the streaming of online videos is not solely dependent upon the download speed of the broadband. Though good speed helps in faster streaming, there are other factors as well. One of the contributing factors is the distance between the sending server and the receiving site. The details of dashboard are available on the official website of YouTube.
You also need to know that the dashboard serves as a mere measurer and does nothing to fix your broadband connection but it can definitely give you enough evidence to support your decision of switching connection if your connection is not satisfactory. Dashboards help you compare your connection with the other users in the area and also those using services of other service providers. So if you are actually dissatisfied with your broadband connection, dashboard gives you an opportunity to switch to other internet service provider with confidence.
