I'm on the ULD900 plan,so after my speed goes down to 512kbps. It starts to play video at 114p which to me is the equivalent of not playing the video at all. Even if I bump up the resolution to 360p,it automatically changes to 114p after a minute of playing. God,I'm tired of websites making decisions for me on the assumption that i'm too stupid to do it myself. The thing is 360p usually streams pretty decent,with minimal buffering. I tried a few addons for chrome which don't work either.
 
Why don't you just untick the Auto option in resolution settings ?
 
Yup. Disable Auto. If I have it on, it usually starts at the lowest resolution for me too. Which is practically watching RM videos from the dial up era.
