YouTube extremely slow when accessed using WiFi

I find that, in the last day or so, accessing YouTube has become painfully slow when using WiFi. It was working fine earlier in the week.
EDGE connections have faster downloads but the quality is really poor.
Anyone with similar problems? Any explanations as to what might be causing this?
Thanks,
Anil

Bump to this, I am also experience the same issues as well with Youtube being slow on WiFi compared to the horrific version on EDGE. I would think this to be a Router issue, but I have yet to test it out by shutting down all other applications that access the router as well as other computers that use the router.

  • Hello, I have a macbook pro late 2011 15 inch with 4 gb ram. My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Is there a fix?

    My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Furthermore, when just using safari to watch streaming television, my computer gets really slow, and locks up, and the dock appears blank and I sit here frustrated. Anytime i wake up my computer, my keys don't respond and I've waited at most 3 minutes untill i can type in my password. Even sometimes when i type in my password and hit enter, it takes forever to open up my mac. I have barely used any storage in my macbook, since i only use it for college, and I have run clamscan wiht no viruses showing... Any ideas?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • IPhone 6 and 6 plus camera extremely slow when using flash

    I have noticed that the iPhone 6 and 6 plus camera is extremely slow when using flash, it is definitely slower than iPhones 5 and 5s.
    Any explanation/solution for this?

    I Have done some more testing and it seems turning off HDR resolves the issue

  • Zen X-Fi2 extremely slow when loading playlists!

    0Zen X-Fi2 extremely slow when loading playlists!?I recently purchased a Zen X-Fi2 64gb. I'd been waiting for a player of this size for a few years now but Creative was behind the power curve so I temporarily switched to an Archos 80gb. After the Archos began to annoy me I ended up just going with the Zen 32gb flash based player. It works/ed great. This new Zen X-Fi2 however is unbearably slow! I don't mind quite sometime to rebuild the library once the initial sync is done but when it takes 5 minutes to load a playlist (3000+ songs) then I get upset. It takes so long to load said playlist that the player shuts off before it has time to load all the songs. I can't even just click play right away like I could on the Zen. The only way I've been able to get around it is to tap the screen twice. Once to load the playlist (which takes forever if it's more than 00 songs) and again to play once the lengthy loading process is over with. However even then it doesn't load all the songs. I've been communicating with tech support about this with no resolution in sight. All they keep telling me is how 'normal' it is for a player to load a large number of songs. My Zen which is an MTP player syncs and plays music much faster! Is there anyway to possibly upgrade this to an MTP player?

    Hi Vokivolli,
    Almost 2 months on from your original post I see that you have received no reply from an administrator. Are these problems still persisting with your player? I have an X-Fi Style too and am experiencing the same problems. Like you I was hoping that firmware updates would address the problem. I don't think that the Style is a priority for Creative and unfortunately I don't see them bothering to solve these issues. Hope I'm wrong cos otherwise I love the X-Fi Style.

  • Mavericks is extremely slow. NetFlix used to stream just fine until I loaded the "upgrade." What is the problem with this OS?

    Mavericks is extremely slow. NetFlix used to stream just fine until I got the "upgrade." Everything is slower now, and I have plenty of RAM. Any insights?

    Hello Sunny James,
    I would be concerned too if my iMac was running slowly after upgrading to Mavericks.  I found a couple of articles I recommend to help isolate and troubleshoot this issue.
    I recommend reviewing this article first for possible causes of the slowness:
    OS X Mavericks: If your Mac runs slowly

    You can further isolate the issue by determining if it is only happening in your user account or if it is happening system-wide:

  • Top nav / menu bar extremely slow -- have to use bottom nav. How can I fix this?

    Top menu bar is extremely slow -- need to use the bottom nav first. I thought once it was live with own domain name (BC is host, built with Muse) it would speed things up. No luck. The site < http://www.onlyrealgamemovie.com >  is relatively small and has always had this issue. I need to correct this problem ASAP because the film is in "Festival Mode" and starting premiers. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks in advance, Jill

    Thank you so very much -- that makes complete sense! The animation is
    only on that opening page.
    I need to keep the animation -- I am guessing I should recreate the
    Flash so it does not cover the menu?
    Or would a faster short-cut work by hyper-linking the menu tabs just on
    that page?
    I cannot tell you how helpful this is and how much I appreciate your
    response!

    Try clearing history and the cache...
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
    Select:  Clear History  (also empties the cache)
    Deselect the remaning boxes then click Reset.
    Quit and relaunch Safari.
    See if that made a difference.

  • Flying to England tonite--how to not incur Internatl/roaming, yet use for text & when access to wifi

    I am flying to England tonite.  I talked to Apple/AT&T and paying extra for texting while abroad. I want to turn off my phone so as not to incur international/roaming charges, yet be able to text and access wifi when available......is this possible?

    Go to Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, and then to use WiFi go to Settings > WiFi and turn just that ON...that will keep the cellular service turned off and only use WiFi.

  • My Windows XP computer becomes extremely slow when I try using iTunes. It cannot connect to iTunes Store. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes but nothing changes. I cannot use iTunes or sync my iPod anymore. Please help.

    I cannot use iTunes anymore. My computer becomes extremely slow or just freezes. I notice the problem started after I updated iTunes to a new version. I have tried uninstalling iTunes completely from my computer and installing it back, but problem continues. We iTunes launches, it tries to connect to iTunes store, but it doesn't seem to be able to do that either. I can't sync my iPod or play back my music, please help.

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • Mac Mini slow when accessing hd - NVidia MCP79 SATA Driver Problem?

    I bought a Mac Mini (Early 2009) a while ago. Unfortunately i have a problem concerning speed and responseability which i couldnt solve even with a lot of googleing.
    I noticed that problem first time when i tried to play a video file from hd. The video does not play as smooth as it should. It stutters from time to time. It is like a short interruption. The picture freezes for half a second and replays the lost frames very fast after that. These freezes do not occure periodically. It seems to appear randomly. The wierd thing is that the cpu usage is very low and there is enough free ram and disk space.
    So i think its not a ressource problem. I noticed that these freezes do not only affect video playback. The whole system is kind of unresponsive. And thats the the case if there is some sort of hd or dvd access. When i try to copy a huge file these freezes are increasing rapidly. The more hd access the more the system is unresponsive and cannot be used anymore.
    All these effects reminded me of a faulty dma/udma setting on windows machines. So i tried to check the transfer mode for my macs hd controler. But i didnt find any place where to check that. And i dont really think it is running in pio mode because that would result in a high cpu usage.
    I played around a little bit to understand whats going on. So this is what i found out:
    When i play a video from the hd its stuttering. It increases if i copy a file from or to the hd. Copying a file from the dvd-rom increases the effect as well. It is not influenced by a copy from AND to an external usb hd. And the whole effects do not appear under Windows Vista no matter how much i acces the hd.
    So i come to the conclusion that there must be something wrong with the SATA controler driver which is a NVidia MCP79. Unfortunately i have no idea what i can do to solve this problem. And i didnt find any advice or something in the internet.
    So i would appreciate any suggestions.

    Ok, I think I was jumping to conclusion. Disabling journaling didnt remove the problem. It just seemed so because my problem is much less distinct with Leopard. Bad luck I guess.
    kmac1036, to answer your questions. For sure I dont have warranty anymore. Maybee I should have posted that I upgraded my Mac to 3 GB RAM. Furthermore I replaced the original Hitachi HD with a Western Digital 500 GB model.
    Somehow that may be connected to my problem. I've read that many people have problems with the WD HD and those beachballing issues with SN. (I do so too)
    But my performance problem when accessing the HD did also exist with the Hitachi. In fact the Mini was extremly slow with the original 1 GB RAM. I think putting some additional memory into the machine helped because it reduced hd accesses.
    Ok, I am not an expert. But if I had to guess I would say the following seems to happen. There may be an operation in the hd driver that takes longer than it should. Because of that it maintains cpu cycles and prevents the kernel to continue scheduling. That would explain why the freezes are not connected to a high cpu usage and why the systems seems to catch up things after the freeze very fast.

  • Extremely slow data access on auto detected NAS drive

    I have a 27 inch iMac connected to a home network, on which I recently installed a Seagate Central NAS drive.  When Finder automatically finds the drive under Shared, it wants to automatically log me into the drive as "Guest" instead of the administrator user I created on the Seagate drive.  As Guest, the access time is extremely slow (takes minutes to display a list of folders).  However, when I use Finder's Go>Connect to Server, it allows me to enter and remember my userid and password, and the response time in accessing folders and files is extremely fast.  How can I get the auto detection to allow me to login with my userid and password in the same manner that I login using Go>Connect to Server, so I get fast data access on the drive?

    Hi, see if this helps...
    Do the Connect to Server route, then...
    If they in fact do show up on the Desktop, then create a new Folder maybe named Shares on/in the Desktop, drag all those Shares shown on the Desktop to that Folder, drag that Folder to the right side of the Dock between Applications & Trash, this should give you a popup menu to select from.:-)
    Mount that Share once, then once the Globe Icon shows up on the Desktop, drag that Globe Icon to the right side of the Dock between Applications & Trash. You now have a Dynamic Mount, a quick click on the Icon in the Dock will connect you.
    On the multiple Shortcuts...
    Mount them all, when show up on the Desktop, then create a new Folder maybe named Shares on/in the Desktop, drag all those Shares shown on the Desktop to that Folder, (you can even rename them once there, if you wish), drag that Folder to the right side of the Dock between Applications & Trash, this should give you a popup menu to select from.:-)
    To automount them, drag those Aliases to the Accounts Pref Pane's Login Items Window.

  • Why is labview so slow when I use an array subset to scan through a large array

    I am using an array sub set to scroll  arrays across an intensity graph, and it works but when I load a large array (ex. 482 x 1000) the program is extremely slow, updating appox. every 3 seconds. What I'm I doing wrong?
    - there is always an easy way, but it is always the hardest to find

    Can you attach your code so we can see how you do this?
    How big are the subsets you are extracting?

  • Yoga 2 Pro - extremely slow when plugged to an external monitor with Windows 10

    Hi! Like most of you, I was eager to take the step early and try Windows 10 (knowing the risk of running into some problems on the way). Everything works very smoothly, and Win10 is really delightful. The only major problem I've faced is that when I plug an external monitor, every action (launching Firefox for example) takes ages and many apps "doesn't respond". I've downloaded and installed all the drivers for Win10 (included the one for the graphic card). Any idea what is happening or what I could try? Best,François

    Hi. I am suffering the exact same thing. But i think i narrowed down the issue:When i am not using an external monitor - everything works nicely.When I am using an external monitor (and laptop set to "Extend" mode) while laptop screen is open - everything works nicely.When i am using an external monitor (and laptop set to "Extend" mode) while laptop screen is closed - everything becomes extremely slow and laggy.  I wish Lenovo support would provide a solution asap.
