Youtube videos take forever to load, is this normal? (3G, all the bars)

I never had this problem on my old phone and the area is the same, what up? And it?s no matter what video I try to load.

Have you run a speed test on your phone? Maybe it's the network's fault, not the app. Also, make sure the HD or HQ button is not active.

The bars indicate strength not necessarily speed

3G on Verizon is incredibly slow. Like it feels like 2G to me on my GNex

First try another phone in the same carrier as you standing next to you. If the other phone has a good connection, then try your SIM on the other phone. If the other phone has the same issues with the network, you should call your carrier as there may be an error with either your SIM's configuration (or the SIM itself) or your account set up. If everything looks fine and the other phone works fine with your SIM, then the problem may be with your phone and it might need to be replaced.
