Slow YouTube buffering speeds

My iPhone 4 has been having major YouTube buffering problems. It alternates between fast and slow loading. On Wifi with full strength a video will take seconds to load but if i leave it and come back to it on the same connection, it will take sometimes hours for a 3 minute video. the same problem happens on ATT 3G (which isnt amazing...) but it's just not conistent. Any fixes besides restoring, rebooting, and taking it back to the store? My battery hasnt been working well lately so i might take it back soon, but this is the second iP4 I've had and the YouTube issue is not fixed.

iPhone 4, iOS 4

Same exact problem as you.Im on my second ip4 and has ridiculously slow wifi loading times.I think its a software problem and theres nothing that could be done till apple fixes it.I know it isnt my router because videos load no problem on my Ip3g.

My whole family has the same problem with their iP4s and nothing has really fixed it. If u use Safari or other browser, the YouTube site works better and faster but the features are fewer and has lower video quality.
