I always wanted to ask why videos (youtube/vimeo etc) load faster on a PC/Mac compared to an iOS device.... the same happens when you fast forward a video...on iOS it buffers for ages...i hoped that ac connection between iphone6 and airport extreme will speed up things but nothing has changed.... ok it loads faster but i experience the same delay until a video starts and in fast forwarding. Any explanation for that issues ??
 
I'm getting the same problems on YouTube with iOS 8.0.2. It seems to be YouTube not being optimized for iOS 8. Buffering takes as long as 7-15 seconds sometimes for me.
