Why am I getting 1Mbps streaming with a 10Mbps internet speed?
I have 10 Mbps DL speed, but recently almost ALL streaming videos such as YouTube, Vimeo, so on are terribly slow. I'm getting anywhere from 200-1100 kbps on YouTube videos according to the "stats for nerds" right click option.

I use Chrome and Windows 7. Its not my PC because the other computer in my house is having the same issues. Also, its not Chrome. I've tried Mozilla, nothing helps.

Yes, I've reset my modem.

I don't think I'm getting my point across...
I have a 10 Mbps (1.25 MB) internet speed.
In the "stats for nerds" on a YouTube player it shows I'm maxing out around 1500 kbps.
1500 kbps = 0.1831055 MB
Significantly slower than what it should be.

Also, I have DSL. Not cable. I can DL torrents at the full 1.25 MB but not videos.

This problem is relatively new. Its been slow for about 2 weeks now. I assumed it was YouTube doing as they do... screwing things up.
