HD streaming YouTube with 4G

Anonymous
Not applicable
Am I being throttled? I have a 20gb allowance and 2bars 4G signal but am unable to stream any more than 480p
720 and 1080 buffer every 2 or 3 seconds I'm spending more time buffering than playing. I have done a speed test tonight and I'm getting 7.3 Mbps down and 4.88 Mbps ? I used to be able to use the full 20gb in a night when it was quiet at work watching 1080 video on YouTube.

No joy for me unfortunatly.

I also have two O2 mobile web APN's one with capitals at the start of each word and one without, I'm only able to alter the one without capitals. I eddited this one and made it my active one and restarted.
