Study: Streaming Video Viewers Lose Patience After 2 Seconds
Amherst, Mass. (CBS CONNECTICUT) –Streaming online viewers have no tolerance for videos that take longer than just a few seconds to load onto their screens.
Video-streaming services – such as YouTube or NetFlix – win and lose millions of viewers and customers in just a matter of seconds. And according to a new study from the University of Massachusetts, about half of the people who use a high-speed, fiber-optic connection believe that five seconds is too long to wait, National Public Radio reports.

Its the adverts for me, soon as it starts, I’m off
Gee five seconds would be fine but here in New Zealand our “broadband” still goes down a copper wire, at least to the nearest fibre optic cabinet.
Personally, i watch very few videos and no television, i don’t do my learning via moving pictures. So often i can read in ten minutes what a thirty minute video has to offer.
