YouTube is slow as hell!

Hey guys, been having this weird problem few days ago and I can seem to find what is going on.

 

When I try to watch videos on YT, at 1440p or even 1080p, the connections speed of the videos is sloooooow as hell, so the video constantly buffers and I can't watch it.... I have a 50 MB down connection so it should be more than enough to handle even 4k.

 

Weird thing is that some videos load faster on Edge browser, and even the same video I can't play on the PC works perfect on my iPad, which is connected to the same WiFi net...

 

Any ideas about what can be happpening?

50 megs per second? have you checked to see if your IP provider was giving you 50 megs at the time of watching the vid in 1080p?

OFF TOPIC: I suggest every poll from now on to have "**CK EA" option instead of "Other"
