Don't Blame Us for Slow YouTube Videos, Says Google
(Wired): http://www.wired.com/2014/05/youtube-video-quality-report/
"Today Google unveiled Google Video Quality Report ... According to
Google, the report measures the speed at which video bytes are
transferred from the host server to your screen and delivers a rating:
either YouTube HD verified, Standard Definition, or Lower Definition.
The rating report is based on anonymized data from billions of users
collected over a 30-day period."

This is an extremely useful tool. Not all areas have valid data yet, but
even if you can't use the tool today, the "How Video Gets to You" section
of:
http://www.google.com/get/videoqualityreport/
contains several levels of increasingly technical information that you'll
probably find to be quite interesting.
Definitely recommended.
