Why does my iPhone buffer YouTube videos so slow?

I have a full connection

It depends on a number of things. The bandwidth YouTube is currently streaming at is one of them - a lot of people have said YouTube is particularly slow lately. It could also be due to the number of other people online, internet tends to be slow around the evening as this is when surfers peek. You may also need to clear out your history on your phone as this could be slowing it down. May also be worth trying a quick reset (hold power and lock at the same time)

It's your data connection. Download speedtest app and if your download is above 1 MBPS then it should work. Anything bellow will buffer badly.

  • 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?
