YouTube terrible speed and buffering

Alecmac007

I am on Vodafone fibre so just under a year and no problems getting 10mbps but over the last 5 days I am getting terrible performance on YouTube on wifi on all devices. It either buffers, doesn’t play video and occasionally I get a period of a few minutes with no problems.

I have rebooted router and reset firmware and spoke to  Vodafone but no solution. If I connect to mobile data all is good, and all other streaming video sites work fantastic and my wifi speed is always good. Any ideas?

We're experiencing the same issue on our business 4G connection. Despite having a download speed of around 65 Mbps, YouTube  Premium appears to be heavily throttled, leading to frequent buffering. This problem started a few months ago.

Could one of the moderators provide an update on the investigation and any progress toward resolving this network-wide issue?
