This article covers a common problem that many people face when watching YouTube videos \u2013 the constant buffering. Buffering holds up the users in front of the screen while the video is being \u201cdownloaded\u201d and gives them a bad user experience instead of playing the video continuously. Some individuals believe having a fast internet connection may solve the buffering issue, but speed isn\u2019t the only factor involved. The most important thing is having a better, quality internet connection along with a low ping. This article talks about how to improve the quality\/speed of the internet connection for eliminating the constant buffering issue on YouTube. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stcleaner.com\/download\/ibx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-495 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stcleaner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/youtube-buffering.png\" alt=\"youtube buffering\" width=\"510\" height=\"47\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stcleaner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/youtube-buffering.png 510w, https:\/\/www.stcleaner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/youtube-buffering-300x28.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ST Cleaner download w\/ Verisign Digital Certificate<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><b>Solutions<\/b><\/h3>\n<h3><b>Solution 1: Use a Better Browser Instead Of Internet Explorer<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Internet Explorer is quite notorious for slow browsing. Therefore moving to a better, modern browser can greatly improve the browsing experience. The default web browser \u2013 Microsoft Edge which comes with Windows 10 is much better than it\u2019s predecessor. <\/span><b>Google Chrome<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the most widely used browser today due to its stability and speed. <\/span><b>Mozilla Firefox<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is also another example of the browser that offers a seamless browsing experience. All of these 3 web browsers are good alternatives for Internet Explorer for eliminating the buffering issue in YouTube and also improving the speed with which web pages load up.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>How to Launch Edge (For Windows 10 only)<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.

Normally this process takes place in a flash, but some <\/span><b>Internet Service Providers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have a poor DNS which results in a slow down of the conversion phase and this ultimately leads to a slow and laggy internet experience. To eliminate the YouTube buffering issue it\u2019s strongly recommended to use <\/span><b>Google<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s default DNS. Alternatively, <\/span><b>OpenDNS<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can also be used if Google\u2019s DNS can\u2019t be used.

Each resolution has its own size. The bigger the resolution, the bigger it\u2019s size would be. Therefore, switching to a lower resolution can eliminate the buffering issue in YouTube as it takes less time to download. Additionally, YouTube provides an option to always use lower resolution for slow Internet connections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.
