YouTube has implemented a policy that slows down streaming for users with any Adblocking browser extensions. We have found that disabling Adblockers resolved the issue.

Don't agree with this - No Adblocking on myside and it buffers. Also as per Paul's comment from CISP
"I did see it tonight with a vid my son was watching, spinning circle of death. Switch video and come back, and it was fine again.
Sounds like a similar experience to previous posts."

Can vouch, have been using Brave for 3 years, and has been a breeze, not just for YouTube, but most sites in general- no ads

Been using Brave for years and years. In terms of the YouTube buffering, I based my point using standard Edge Browser

For me it is intermittent. I am using an apple tv though. So not sure if it is related to what everyone else is experiencing.

On Chrome with YouTube Premium. Still have the buffering issue on Chrome and via the official App on iOS and Android. I’ve disabled Adguard but still no change on my end.
@AfriNatic and @Afrigirl
I need some urgent help, it's a long story but basically need an early release of a fibre line so new tenants can get their ISP in. I logged a ticket with Afrihost and they said it would be done today but the new tenant's ISP said when they tried to activate on their side, Vumatel said that Afrihost suspended the line and did not release it. Now they don't have internet and their ISP cannot move further. The people I speak to at the the call center have no clue.

Will do and thank you.
I have YT premium and have disabled adblock and I am still experiencing issues. Will wait to see what your investigating yields.

YT buffering like crazy today for me. Even on 240p. Any issues?
