Still same issues here for me in Bristol.

Same

Was okay yesterday but today it's back to same old song and buffering dance.

:erm:

Re: Youtube issues. Is this still a thing?
 

Also noticing buffering of Youtube but not with the classic Ping monitor "shape" that we have seen on previous occasions.

Still issues here as of yesterday

Re: Youtube issues. Is this still a thing?
 

I think I am beginning to see some of this as well. It's not problematic, but whereas previously everything would immediately jump to 1080p, I've had the odd video take a few seconds to start and then start at 360p or some such.

Having said that, manually selecting 1080p still seems to work. Might have just been a peak time bump.

I'd also like to chime in with issues of YouTube buffering. I click on a video, the wheel spins for what seems like an eternity then it starts streaming at the lowest quality possible.

It's becoming quite frustrating. Does anyone have any temporary fixes I can try besides from using a VPN?

Re: Youtube issues. Is this still a thing?
 

I had the same problem when the thread started a couple of weeks ago but it was fixed within a few days and is fine now.

Re: Youtube issues. Is this still a thing?
 

Been having this problem on and off for a while too.
I've noticed it only seems to affect the 2.4g wifi signal - 5g works fine. Sadly not all my devices have 5g WiFi though :confused:

Re: Youtube issues. Is this still a thing?
 

Still getting this problem, spoke to VM CS who just asked me to do the usual reboot stuff, then offered to send a tech out which I refused as it would be a waste of time.

Is there any other way we can get someone "higher up" to look into this?

Re: Youtube issues. Is this still a thing?
 

I downloaded the WiFi Analyzer app and found two other VM routers using the same channel as mine - I guess setting the channel to Auto does something different to what I expected. Manually setting the channel seemed to sort out the YouTube problems - so I guess my problem may be a different one to others.

Re: Youtube issues. Is this still a thing?
 

Getting really annoying now. Youtube buffering is appalling. What's the best way to bypass the cache servers that VM use to see if that's the problem?

Re: Youtube issues. Is this still a thing?
 

Mine had been ok for about a week but I noticed last night it was back to being unwatchable again.

Not congestion as speedtests shows the full 211/12

try a different web browser ????
firefox for me takes 30 seconds to run a video but Chrome is instant

Re: Youtube issues. Is this still a thing?
 

Chrome is my default browser. I basically see the same with Firefox and Edge too.

Re: Youtube issues. Is this still a thing?
 

My issues are with Chrome as well, browser doesn't seem to make a difference
