YES!! SpeedBit Video Accelerator works!!

I have a very slow (well slow to me) 2.6mbs connection and was complaining to my wife how slow to load your “United Breaks Guitars” embeded Youtube video was. After reading this article and installing the 15 day trial demo, I went back to your other article page (“When Social Media Is More Powerful Than SEO, Pay-Per-Click and All Other Forms of Marketing Combined”), I cleared my browser’s cache and clicked on the embeded Youtube video again. BAM!! It loaded like lightning. Youtube’s HD videos are also downloading very very fast now too.

Thank you very much for this tip and for writing these articles,

@Steve – I’m in the UK and have a 24 meg connection with: http://www.bethere.co.uk. Most videos play seamlessly but in most cases I’m in the habit of downloading videos before I watch them anyway.

@Dave – If you really want to test it out, I’m sure you could find some bandwidth throttling software. I’ve done this in the past for clients that have needed to test how many web application users they can load onto a given connection or link. Some applications are quite neat in that they will drop a couple of packets, or change the latency etc. so you can really push an application like SpeedBit to its limits.

@Tom – I couldn’t say whether it would work or not, but this is exactly what SpeedBit says their product is designed for.

I have satellite internet (Hughes) on a desktop and use Verizon moble on a laptop. Neither is any good for streaming video at home. The Verizon works in some cases and has an acceptable transfer limit (5MB/month). The Hughes is overpriced, has absolutely no customer service, and has a daily download limit of 168MB which makes it unusalbe for much video downloads. Any video I view is downloaded in Real Player and I am constantly watching the size of the file. Can the SpeedBit software help me with these downloads as long as I watch the file size?

I can only dream of the day we get 20mps download here in the UK. On a good day I get just over 2mps and on a bad day (like today) just less the 1mps so watching videos isn’t fun!
