[INFO] TM & Google streaming LAG,

I think I had found the culprit for recently google streaming lag.
Yesterday, I was able to get into 110.x.x.x IP and there seems like no slow down in youtube streaming.
This lead to my curiosity, and I found out that google allow ISP to redirect the streaming line to ISP cache server.
For example, google will assign a DNS for the TM streamyx user with IP (60.x.x.x) with tm-kul7 mapping so that it can redirect the line to TM's google cache server----->which means they can throttle our line
It seems that, google mapping is redirecting the line to OUR SCREAMYX throttle version of cache server.
And of course 110.x.x.x is fast because it mapped to other TM's google cache server which they didn't implement throttle. (i forgot what mapping already, but it is definitely not tm-kul7 and tm-jhb1 server)

How to check your ISP mapping server
Mapping Report for google YT

The slowest server for assigned to TM is tm-kul7 and tm-jhb1 server.
(highest speed only reach up to 50kbps)
If possible, always refresh your WAN ip until it is not these two server

Anyway, I did some googling about how to redirect to google CDN rather than TM's screamyx cache server.
And it had not been very successful.
I had provided these useful information here hoping someone will investigate and bypass this two server for faster speed of youtube streaming.
It seems like adding rules to firewall will make youtube to go to the mainserver rather than TM's cached version.
But I had trouble making it work..
