Slow Internet Except for YouTube

Restart the router and/or modem.

Posted

Hi Everyone

 

Recently I've noticed my families home internet has become considerably slow, especially for videos such as in the Float Plane Club, Facebook and news websites. They're basically unwatchable, having to buffer every second, even loading the forum here was very slow. However despite this I can play YouTube videos at 720p with no buffering at all, they just play straight through from start to end with no issues (in fact I just checked and I played a 6 min 1080p video with only less than 5 sec buffering at the beginning). The same issues is noticeable on both an ethernet connected PC and on mobile devices over WiFi. 

 

I'm wondering if this is an issue with our modem and router settings or if it's just some weird issue with our ISP. 

 

Any suggestions and thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I've also noticed this kind of scenario at our home but I don't know why...

Thanks, must have been the modem as I restarted the router other day when I first noticed the issue. I'll have to remember to do both in future.
