Re: Can't update apps or watch youtube

This has started happening to me too last few days. Just android phone. Videos won't load and buffer and Google play apps can't install. 

 

I am on a deco mesh but since moving to sky full fibre I'm always having issues with speed drops to the point I'm getting 430kbs on a 500mbit FF line around 2pm for an hour now this. The sky broadband checker says everything is fine but it's never is.
