Time Warner Cable slow, Verizon hotspot really fast?

Time Warner could be throttling web sites that use lots of bandwidth like youtube to keep its network from becoming congested. I would try to hide what sites you are visiting from Time Warner and see if that helps with video streaming. You could change dns providers or connect to the internet through a VPN. Some vpn services will give you free data as a trial offer, use that to test whether encrypted internet traffic is any faster than an unencrypted youtube stream.
