    Lately (few months) YouTube will not load whatsoever on my android phone nor tablet very often, activating a VPN fixes it instantly. Using basic YouTube app

        Using a VPN on a shitty network won’t magically make your network connection better.

          It is possible. Maybe the peering from his ISP to YouTube is shit/ overloaded. That was an issue for Deutsche Telekom for a few years because Telekom didn’t want to pay for better peering. With a VPN it is possible to get good peering to your ISP and YouTube and in return faster load speeds.

          No but it can definitely work around issues like a congested link between isp and Google, resolving network-related YouTube performance issues.
