Uhhh, I leave a page and surf other pages while the video buffers, then I come back to it, especially vimeo videos. I thought that is what the stat was saying.

Depends on the title, description, and tags. If it seems like something I would like, I stay, if I'm only a little interested I move on.

8mb, getting about 770 kb/s.. i never need to leave something buffering, like ever, including high quality ones, unless the connection/website is being slow.

Hit play, then immediately hit pause, take a piss, come back and check if the video is close enough to done to watch the hole thing without an issue. If not, I watch the first half, and when it stalls I move on and make the rest up in my head.

Well, most people are idiots with no patience, to the detriment of their life experience.

I would like to see numbers on what % of people watch the cutscenes in video games, at least the first time through. To me, there are two types of people... those who skip the cutscenes even the first time they play, and those who watch the cutscenes at least the first time through to get the story. If you're the first type, who always skips, GO EAT A COCK.

Ditto.

I have a very fast connection, and I have to wait for buffering all the time. It is a server-side bandwidth restriction. But if I didn't want to see the video, I wouldn't have gone to the page... so I can wait a few seconds.

I open multiple videos in multiple tabs. Sometimes servers are slow, so if a video isn't loading quickly I go to a new tab and do other stuff.
