Android kodi speed issues

Hey sorry if this post is a bit long I’ll try keep it concise.

I’ve got the newest kodi on a few Android devices and a computer and have noticed its super slow downloading or navigating addons like YouTube and Film on the Android ones. At first I thought it was just a bad install but I’ve cleared data and stuff and it’s still the same. My broadband is at like 50 mbs download as well.

What’s weird is that after trying to use a vpn for the android devices the issues cleared up. I don’t really feel like I want a vpn though as it seems like more hassle than what it’s worth. My broadband is bt and I’ve tried disabling parental block, switching off smart setup, reseting hub and ungrouping dual 2.4 and 5gz (whatever that is Confused).

I’m just baffled why this issue would only happen on Android and not pc, why it would be solved by something like a vpn. I should also mention that other websites or programs work perfectly fine as far as I can tell.

Any help would be much appreciated and I’m sorry if this is a bit of a dumb question.
