The one thing I notice with YouTube is that some days it will say I'm in a different country and I have to reset my country to USA. IDK why that happens, but it does so every now and again. Also, if you are using a VPN, check which country you are pointing to, as some content is marked for certain country or regions. With VPNs, a fast drop might change to a high latency and that might slow down the connection or cause timeouts on some sites, so I check the response time of the location I am connected to. Just spitballing here, but whenever I run into weird issues, those seem to be the ones that ding me.
