Youtube is horrendous even with decent internet

[jar00d]

My internet is pretty good and capable opening regular web pages and for gaming but for some reason when i go on youtube i cant even watch in 480p without it buffering every five seconds. Someone help me please? I have full bars on my wifi and it used to work before tremendously well...

What browser are you using? Try reinstalling the gpu driver in case gpu acceleration is messing it up. It might be your isp so you could try a proxy.

You can just use a site like this. https/www.proxysite.com/youtube/ But if it worked before it's probably not it. Doesn't hurt to try though. Did you try different browsers?

Are you able to clear browsing data, like cached images/files etc?

I remember reading somewhere that can help.

Alternatively, what if you reinstalled Chrome? Made sure it's up to date?

Yes cleared it all and reinstalled chrome as well no luck...

Bummer. I know your pain, but I have to watch in 480p or less on my 3mbps Down connection.

How about Firefox? Have you tried a different browser, like Firefox or Edge (If using windows 10), Safari etc? Will they give you the same results?

Any other devices on your network have the same issue? A laptop, Mobile/Tablet or console?

I've found the problem. I just replaced my current DNS profile and now everything is buffering like mad
