Hi!

So my current internet speeds are +200mb/s: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3718609956 (Just took this test moments ago)

Even with my speeds, it's extremely rare for me to buffer a HD YouTube video fast enough to watch it.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

It might be Youtube's servers. Are you trying to stream the videos in 1080p?

This might also be caused by your router trying to balance your internet connection so the router refuses to use more than a specific amount of your internet to buffer videos. It could also be that Time Warner is being a**holes.
