As of 8 p.m. Colorado time youtube is being throttled(purposely routed through oversaturated copper) pretty hardcore on century link, the only reason i know this is because i went to watch the maker fair video and it stopped loading at about 2 minutes, even after refreshes. I then proceded to download the mp4 in 2.5 minutes in full 1080p and 192kbps audio.... ugh...
