Question

You Tube

Mar 13, 2016 5:14AM PDT

Lately I am having problems with Watching and downloading videos from You tube and other sources. Have run a Speedtest and the download speed is Over 70 on this PC which is hardwired to the router and about 30 on my wireless laptop. Quite frequently, not always, I get the message Error try again later. I also have a Roku stick and have no problems on that. Please tell me what I can do to resolve the problem.

It appears to me that their new ad insertion technology is causing some issues. Seeing it here.

I'm watching less and less YouTube.

Seems those YouTube channels are going to feel it.
