Youtube buffering issues

Vox doesn't have it, specifically because I would know about it, my parents are with Vox and my brother would have a schitt fit if YT buffered. WebAfrica is another scummy ISP and MWEB, same company I hear
Enjoy your time on my ignore list... richly deserved

Man thinks I care that I'm on his ignore list, like he is somebody famous
Yet another person that always thinks they're right :ROFL:
 
I'm with Vox. Buffering is terrible today. Youtube almost unwatchable.
 
So ad blockers might have something to do with Google stuff. So worth mentioning if you are using one as well.

But it's very random also depending on what content.
 
I haven't been affected by the buffering, but I have noticed something interesting.
Every few weeks or so I get the AdBlocker blocker, so I have to turn it off.
I turn off the ad blocker use Vinegar - Tube Cleaner for a few days then can turn on ad-blocker back on and use YT with Ad blocker for a few weeks no problem.
Without fail as soon as I see people complaining about YT buffering within that day I get AdBlocker Blocked again, it may very well be coincidence or the buffering has to do with there ad blocker blocking rollout.
There has been mentions in tech media about trouble with there detection system.
 
Haven't had any problems on tv or desktop with Youtube on RSAweb. Few months ago I had buffering but is was only some channels, mostly from Australia like Daily Dose of Internet.

Official YouTube app with premium account refuses to auto adjust to 4k on my 100/100 line. I can set it automatically then it buffers. It goes up to 1080 and sometimes 1440 automatically. I never had that problem in the past.

I not with Cool ideas, but just mentioning it in this thread.
 
Its seems pretty random. I open a video and it does not even want to start, then close and open again and works perfect, no buffering. And I have no add blockers.
 
Also happening with webafrica/openserve now, however it's the first time I'm noticing it, trying to watch a video uploaded 3 minutes ago tho
 
Metrofibre
Youtube Premium

Happens on Android as well. All other downloads and streams are normal. Especially noticeable on Shorts that sometimes don't even start playing, and long delays most of the time.
