In country like India where average speed of internet connection is very low. Most of the people are have there pc connecting through mobiles, data cards on 2G or 3G network. Especially 2G and some times even 3G, net speed is very low and  it is not possible to watch videos on youtube.com .
In this post I am going to write about how to buffer YouTube videos faster on both Windows and Mac.

How to do it on Windows:
Note: You must run command prompt as a administrator. So strictly fallow the below steps to run CMD as administrator.
To start a command prompt as an administrator
1. Click Start, click All Programs, and then click Accessories.
2. Right-click Command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
3. If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Continue.

To start a command prompt as an administrator (alternative method)
1. Click Start.
2. In the Start Search box, type cmd, and then press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.
3. If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Continue.
After Command Prompt window opening,
Type in the following commands and press Enter.

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="TNCYTTRICK" dir=in action=block remoteip=173.194.55.0/24,206.111.0.0/16 enable=yes

If it shows ok, then that’s it. Close command prompt window. Try checking out your favourite video in the maximum quality possible.


cmd

If you think this trick is not helping you, you can delete the rule by entering the following command. Be sure to run the CMD in administrator mode like you did for adding it.

netsh advfirewall firewall delete rule name="TNCYTTRICK"

How to do it on Mac/Linux:
Open your terminal and run the following commands in Mac.

sudo ipfw add reject src-ip 173.194.55.0/24 in
sudo ipfw add reject src-ip 206.111.0.0/16 in

In Linux systems you can use the iptables commands instead of the ipfw in Mac systems.


Now to delete the rule in case if its not working or helping, run the command ‘sudo ipfw list’  in the terminal and note down the number of the rule which you want to delete. Then enter the following command by replacing the X with the number you noted down.

sudo ipfw delete X
