Erm, have you tested videos with different web browsers? I personally use Chrome and I don't have a single problem. My ISP is Comcast with 175 mbps down and I'm on wireless. That's weird, usually that's a side effect of your bandwidth getting fucked, make sure no one else is hogging your wireless network...

I always use chrome, never anything else, Chrome nation

I've had an unstable OC cause this before, oddly enough. Sometimes the audio for the video would play in the background, but the video would freeze up and have whatever buffering symbol the site had.

 

It can depend on a lot of things, though. You can check your own availbile bandwidth at speedtest.net. If it's Youtube, you can test their bandwidth by right clicking on a video and hitting "statsfornerds".

I spoke could be throttling. Try a vpn.
