Why is YouTube on my IPhone 4g so slow?

Whenever I open up a YouTube video, whether on the app or safari, the video plays for one second and has to buffer. Seriously, it has to buffer for 20 mins on a 30 second video even on 240p quality! Can someone please explain why it's so slow and give me suggestions on how to fix it?

Its trying to tell you to buy an android.

  • YouTube is painfully slow on iPhone 4S, what can I do? I watch YouTube videos on the YouTube app often on my brand new iPhone 4S. Once I upgraded from a 3GS to my 4s, I thought YouTube and Internet would become faster. Internet speed is the same, but YouTube is much much much slower! Videos take forever to begin, and buffer at least 5 times throughout the video, and each buffer takes up to a minute or two. It's getting very annoying, what can I do?
  • Why is YouTube so slow on my iPhone 5? I use YouTube a lot and I hate when my video stop and has to load. This hasn't happened since I got the new iPhone. My Internet works perfect on my laptop and my Xbox. Does anyone know what is happening?
  • Why is YouTube so slow on my iPhone 5? - 1 I can't watch a video because it pauses every 10 seconds. I've tried through the app and through Safari and I've tried with Wi-Fi on and off - nothing helps. This is ridiculous for such an expensive phone and I'm on YouTube all the time. Anyone know why this is or having the same problem?
  • Why is youtube so slow on iphone 5? So i'm using the youtube app over my Wi-Fi on my iphone 5. I get 10 megabites download consistantly, i just checked with speedtest.net. If i'm trying to watch a 2 minute youtube video, it would take around 4-5 minutes of buffering to watch it! Any fixes or any ideas why this is happening?
