No Video Streaming Sites EXCEPT YouTube Will Work
The problem started maybe a week after I installed Windows. All video streaming sites (including Hulu, Netflix, Crunchyroll and Blip) are streaming so slow that they're unusable. I tried watching a half hour show but two hours later I only got through 2/3 of it. Sometimes the ads will play perfectly but then the video will be extremely slow.
Youtube videos are working almost perfectly. However, there are a lot of instances where the video will just stop and will not play any further unless I refresh. And this problem seems to have passed, but for a while when I try to skip forward in the video, the progress bar makes it look like the video is finished.
Occasionally the videos on the other sites will play fine if I play it very soon after startup but will deteriorate until the sites are unusable again.
Update: I forgot to mention, I know it's not a problem with my browser because I get the exact same problem with Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer. Also, it's not a problem with my network because the sties all work perfectly on my other computer. Lastly, I've discovered that videos on escapistmagazine.com seem to work just fine.
