This is also one of the coolest ways to speed up streaming of your YouTube videos. Simply follow the steps to configure.

  • Go to RUN (Window Key + R) and type system.ini in the dialogue box and press enter. 
  • It will open a Notepad file. 
  • A code will show up just like below.

webcam=100Tbps
voice=100Tbps
faxmodemfast=100Tbps

3. By Blocking Some IPs :-

This is a trick by a guy named Mitch Ribar. This trick makes some changes in the windows firewall which blocks some IP addresses. I have seen many users taking benefit from this trick. It helped them a lot. The thinking behind it is that some ISPs try to throttle bandwidth from the server that catches videos which causes slow buffering of videos. The commands below blocks relevant IP addresses which forces streaming sites to deliver actual video.

  • Go to RUN (Window Key+ R) type cmd and press enter. 
  • Copy the command below, Right Click in command prompt and paste there. 


netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=”FixBuffering” dir=in action=block remoteip=173.194.55.0/24,206.111.0.0/16 enable=yes 

  • Now restart your system and access YouTube videos with increased buffer speed. 
  • If you want to remove this command then just copy paste the following command in the Command Prompt and hit enter. 


netsh advfirewall firewall delete rule name=”FixBuffering”


4. Use YouTube Open DNS Server :-

You can also improve your streaming speed by hooking up to an Open DNS Server. Just follow the steps below.

  • Go To Control Panel.
  • Then go to your Network Connections Setting. 
  • Select your internet connection and right click to open Properties.
  • Choose Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and select properties. 
  • Now put the following values in Preferred DNS and Alternate DNS. 


Preferred DNS : 208.67.222.222
Alternate DNS : 208.67.220.220
