I've been trying for over half an hour to watch a 2.32 minute video, and the others I've seen so far also played very slowly. I'm using my macbook pro, and tried both Safari and Chrome. The lessons look good, but unless this gets better I will not be able to use this. Oh yes and I'm connected to 4G wifi.

16,593 PointsJust so we are clear on the issue, what do you mean by slow? Do you mean they are buffering and taking a long time to load all the way, or do you mean that the video speed while it is play is really slow?

9,876 PointsWell to watch it, i have to let it buffer. When I say slow I mean that the loading and waiting wheel is almost continuously showing. Anyway, I'll check my 4g provider tomorrow in case thats the issue, but utube seems to be streaming ok.

604 PointsI haven't had similar issues with any of the courses. Have you tried using an entirely different internet connection, to be sure your connection isn't the problem?
I've had my cellular provider tell me I was on 4G LTE and still had my actual throughput be very slow, sometimes.
