GoDaddy Ads (Bandwidth Issue)?

[brandonsadkins]

I don't mind the ads at all, and this is NOT related to:
1) no volume controls
2) sync/playing issue.

I'm having a different issue with the ads altogether. (As far as I have found this is the first thread that mentions this. Forgive me if it isn't.)

Are the GoDaddy ads a much higher bitrate/quality than the shows? For some reason, the GoDaddy ads are very choppy and end up taking 30-45 seconds (due to buffering/downloading) to play.

The show afterward plays fine with no buffering issues, but it's a pain to watch an ad that keeps stopping every 3-4 seconds.

The ads are fine but their quality is too high. I usually spend 4-5 minutes waiting for the commercial to load but I am able to watch the shows using the low quality streaming option without long interruptions.

Yeah I totally agree. The GoDaddy ads do usually have to stop and buffer about half way through every time. A lower quality would be a lot helpful.
