Slow Seek times with YouTube

For some reason if I use any device now and use YouTube through my BT fibre internet, it is now taking 5-10 seconds to start a video and about the same if I forward a video. It wasn’t doing this a few days ago. There’s a huge delay with just YouTube

it happens on every device, YouTube tv app, YouTube on my computer, YouTube on my phone. But only through my Internet connection with BT.

i have a good connection and getting decent WiFi 1000mbps speeds or close to it on everything apart from YouTube. It was working perfectly fine a few days ago. Now I can’t even watch a 1080p video without a huge amount of spinning circle seek time appearing. 

i tried connecting to my cellular network without WiFi and it doesn’t happen at all. I also tried a VPN while still connecting through BT and it doesn’t happen then either. I have no idea why this has suddenly started happening last couple of days. YouTube is basically unusable on a 1000mbps connection!

can someone please fix this

Re: Slow Seek times with YouTube

Yeah I’ve noticed YouTube videos are taking an age to get going. I agree this only started in the past few days.
