I subscribe to Celcom First Basic 38 (3GB LTE + 3GB WiFi). However, I never watch YouTube beyond 360P resolution. Hence, saves battery and data. That's the trick!
The 5.0" 720P reso in P4000 is good enuff for 360P YouTube streaming. No need to go all the way to 720P or 1080P reso because these reso will eat your battery (higher SoC processing power and strain the screen too which all leads to overheating) as well as data. Try these tricks when YouTubing or any streaming services.
But for 5.5" screen that supports 1080P reso, better watch at 480P or 720P in order to avoid pixelated images, which will make very hard to read texts (eg subtitles, quotations, etc.) on those pixelated vids.
i use 720p or at least 480p, because 360p looks blurry. some details missing on vides expcially those with next to read on them..The 5.0" 720P reso in P4000 is good enuff for 360P YouTube streaming.

but overall, YouTube is okay. at home, connected to Streamyx it still lags, but on Mobile Data it is smooth
i guess wifi pairing on my current firmware is a bit sluggish. mine is 20150717_ish and when i hit the "check For Updates" button it doesnt show any update
