On a mac book air m4 with a 600mbps connection, it's instantaneous and amazing.

with this pc spec and internet speed, I expect its "normal"

  • You’d be amazed. A very significant number of websites are anything but instant on my i9 14900k and 1000mbps connection. Our work identity provider/vpn app for 80 people takes about 15 seconds to start up on said machine. Apparently that’s “normal”

  • You'd be surprised i have 1g/1g and youtube still is not buttery smooth lol on my m3 mac pro, theirs always a noticeable gap between clicking play and it actually starting to stream

  • Let's create a metric, call it "click to streaming time" (CTST).

    This site was instantaneous. Youtube was not.

    (Even if it's an M4)

  • I have the same experience on a Macbook Air M1 (I don't think that matters at all) and 100 MBit/s DSL.
