I got an iPhone 3GS shortly after it came out and found that my 1st generation iPhone had better YouTube video quality than my new iPhone 3GS. I did some research and found it was because I had wifi turned off on the 3GS. I turned wifi on and found I couldn't play YouTube videos at all with wifi on on the 3GS and neither could my husband with his 3GS. Both of our first generation iPhones worked fine. At first I thought this was something Apple would fix soon as I saw other people complaining about it, but it doesn't look like that has happened yet. Fortunately, I found a fix that you can read about below.
I had a newer router that is a Netgear Wireless-N router. The wifi speed listed in the setup menu was set to "up to 270Mbps" I changed this setting to "up to 54Mbps" and after rebooting my iPhone 3GS the issue was resolved. If you have a router that doesn't give you an option to change the speed look for an option to change from the N band to the G band. That should do the trick.
