Video buffering and playback problems Ask Jack Technology. Within the past few weeks, any attempt to use my laptop to watch streaming media generates buffering problems. This was never an issue previously. I have checked the download speed of my broadband supplier Virgin and it is showing 2. Mbps, as opposed to the advertised up to 1. I have no idea whether this performance has recently dipped. Is the buffering problem likely to derive from the download speed or could it be something more sinister which has attached itself to the laptopI regularly run Spybot Search and Destroy, and no obvious issues have shown up. David Collins. The internet comes with no guarantees about performance, and a vast number of things can delay a streaming video. There can be problems with the hosting site, with any of the dozen or more hops that the data take on the way to your internet service provider ISP, and with the traffic shaping system your ISP probably employs. When the stream reaches your house, there can be further problems with your broadband router, the connection to your computer, and the software andor hardware of your PC. This can include problems with graphics drivers, anti virus software especially shields and live scanners, which you can turn off, firewalls and browser plug ins.

The next problem is trying to find out if the buffering is being caused by your PC or your ISP. Its easier to do this if you can compare two laptops and two ISPs. For example, try a different laptop with your Virgin connection. If videos play properly, then its probably a problem with your PC. Take your laptop to a Wi Fi hotspot or a friends house and watch a streaming video via a different broadband supplier. If videos play correctly on your laptop when youre away from home, the problem could well be your router, or your ISP. Reboot your router by disconnecting the power cable, waiting for 3. If that doesnt solve the problem, can you try a neighbours Virgin connection or a different router If youre using a Wi Fi connection, try connecting your laptop to your router using a good quality Ethernet cable, or vice versa.

Mbps for high quality movie playback and about 5. Mbps for HD TV. Even if your connection is fast enough, your ISP probably gives some types of data preferential treatment. Virgin should explain its traffic shaping policies if you ask. For example, I would expect Skype audio and video and perhaps BBC i. Player streams to get preferential treatment over web surfing and file downloading. I would expect peer to peer traffic such as Bit. Torrent to be shaped to a low performance level. However, I would not be shocked to see streaming video performance slugged during the peak evening hours. The internet is a shared resource, and its capacity is limited. One way to find out if your ISP is doing odd things is to use a proxy connection, preferably an encrypted one, so that your ISP cant see what youre doing. Unfortunately, most of the free anonymous proxy services wont handle video streams or file downloads because of the vast amount of expensive bandwidth they consume. However, both Speedproxy and Unblock You. Tube will play You. Tube videos. Sites like this appeal mainly to users whose employers or teachers have blocked access to You. Tube, but if they play videos without stuttering, then the problem is with Virgin. If all else fails, you can often watch videos by downloading and playing them instead of streaming them. With You. Tube, for example, you can pause the playback until the download line the pale red one reaches the end of the video. After that, the video is playing from a file in Temporary Internet Files.
