Google ranks ISPs with video quality report

Google has provided a new website (launched in May) that will rate streaming video quality of selected ISPs. This is the latest attempt to place blame on who is dropping the ball between broadband providers and content companies.

The site says that there are many factors that influence your video streaming quality, including your choice of Internet Service Provider (ISP). Learn how your ISP performs and understand your options.

You may experience poor video quality -- slow loading, buffering or choppy playback -- due to a number of factors, such as issues with your Internet Service Provider (ISP), the number of connected users or devices, your hardware, your software and software configuration, your connection to the internet (wireless or ethernet cable), whether you have exceeded your allotted data quota, or problems with the video itself.

Take a look and see how your ISP rates.
