Youtube streaming slowly on iPad I am facing issues streaming Youtube videos on iPad (using the native Youtube app)

My connection speed is 3.1 Mbps, which I guess is decent for video streaming. Also I agree that I would not get the full 3.1 Mbps and would only get about 1/3rd. So I get around 1 Mbps based on speedtest.

Now what should I do to fix the Youtube streaming and is it a known issue with speed limits for the Youtube app ?

Thank you.
This is sometimes a problem when there are a large number of apps open at once, or the iPad is otherwise running low on memory. 

I have an iPad 1, and unless I set the quality fairly low, there is no guarantee I will get a decent viewing experience.

To try and fix this, first close all apps but youtube, then, if that doesn't work, reboot your device.
