Historically I've had no trouble with either Google services or Youtube. About 3 weeks ago, Youtube videos started taking much longer to load and/or required a lot of buffering in the middle. SD, HD, doesn't matter. Sometimes a SD video can take ~5 minutes to start playing now. A nice little "Having trouble?" bar pops up and explains why videos might be slow but doesn't say anything useful other than AT&T is only good for SD, supposedly. :P
Gmail frequently doesn't load anymore without a lot of retries and loading a page of images in a Google image search results in a lot of nothing. Most images won't load anymore.
Most other web browsing works fine and at normal speed. Going to AT&T's speedtest site shows I'm doing ~24mbps down speed. File downloads from most places can max out near that speed, so the issue isn't my connection to the AT&T network or the internet in general.
Just wondering if anyone else is having problems with Google and/or Youtube recently, and if AT&T is possibly throttling them in some way.
Thanks.
