We have to wait for the video to load> 360p for a few seconds, breaks in the middle of viewing have become commonplace and this is with a fairly wide channel.

In order for the request to go past the cdn of YouTube servers, you need to block the range of ip addresses (in the router or on the computer).
173.194.55.0/24 and 206.111.0.0/16
