Constant buffering on Youtube

     For the last 2 weeks I have had a hard time when trying to watch a Youtube video. Some buffering before 8 am, which has never occurred before. At night the problem is much worse. Sometimes the video stops loading half way thru and will not restart.

 

    What is strange is that my speeds as tested on testmy are excellent. In the past when I have experienced the problem of buffering my speeds have been below 1.5 mb, sometime below 1 mb. This time my speeds have been above 5 mb and sometimes above 15 mb. This problem of buffering has been occurring every night all night. Video Optimization has been turned off. Also I still have over half my data left for this month.

 

    Video performance on other websites has not been affected. Last night I spent 45 minutes trying to watch a 15 minute video on Youtube at 480p. I gave up when it was only 2/3 finished. I then went to This Old House website and watched two 23 minute videos at 720p with no buffering.

 

     Any one have in thoughts on the cause of my problem?
