Has Cox started throttling youtube traffic?

Lately on all my devices I struggle to load 144p videos...

I've cleared cookies/cache, power cycled my router flushed dns, you name it, still terrible speeds on just this one site... as soon as I go through a proxy, BAM 1080p loads instantly.

So, the question is, does Cox not believe in neutral traffic and have they begun to join the ranks of Comcast/TWC and started throttling people for no apparent reason?

Hi banzors,

There have been intermittent issues accessing the YouTube website in the past yaer or so.  When you have trouble streaming I would like to have you ping the website and run a trace route using the command prompt.  Would you be able to perform those steps?  We will be able to pinpoint the issue better with that information.
