Ok so everytime I try and watch a video online it freezes every few seconds.?

Question

I have good internet connection and I've tried watching videos from various sites but they all freeze every few seconds. This is driving me crazy! Can somebody please tell me why and what I can do?

I DO NOT have dial up!

Answer 1

Its normal when ur watching videos from some famous sites like google video, youtube.It usually happens on the peak hours.Try off-peak.Or just download the video straight to u puter and playback later when ur done.Use Flashget, download not 1 but every video that u wanna watch.Use Firefox it will reveal u the video source.

Answer 2

Is it repeating the part of the video over and over or just repeatedly freezing every few seconds? Usually it freezes up if you have a slow internet connection. Once it starts playing hit the pause button and let the video buffer more. There is a red status bar that will show you how much of the video has buffered. It may take longer but that should make it more watchable.

Answer 3

An internet connection can become slow or stop working due to a number of reasons depending on the type of the connection. Many of the problems can be solved by making software changes or small hardware corrections. Detailed instructions at http://tinyurl.com/yl62gz
