This is really bothering me.

Recently I finally moved into m new house. Brand new highest speed internet (Brighthouse), etc.

Internet is great but recently everytime I play/stream a video. I get random lags/ unresponsive browser. Youtube, Hulu, and Anime websites to stream anime video.

Every single video stream I play/encounter It lags,slow down frames/choppy, and random unresponsive browser.

So far I tried:

Tried different Browser: IE,Crome, and Firefox<--which I mainly use (complete)
Updating Drivers (complete)
Disk Clean Up (complete)
Update Flash Player (complete)
Download new codec (complete)

These are the list of things Google search has told me what the problems might be.

Help?

if you are using wifi check your wireless options and change the password around, it could have been using the default password and using the default one someone might be dipping into your wifi, reducing your velocity.

Otherwise, call the  providing company.

Weird bug...  Will do in the morning, thanks.


Edit:

I have notice that when I browse with my Wii U it doesn't share those problem, video streaming runs perfectly.

Can that "password" still be the reason if other devices runs are fine?

So far everything points to your PC/laptop.

Try to pull a friend over and try, if he has a laptop or even an iPad/tablet.

I recommend not looking/touching the router for now, you'll maybe make the problem worst. These problems are rarely internet connection specific.

Alternatively, if you have a laptop, go to your local X place with wireless and try it there.

@bold I ask my sister to try her laptop (older then mine), her is working just fine. It has to be my laptop

@underline try what there? What Iced suggest?

「ⒻⓊⒸⓀⓎⒺⒶⒽ」

I mean trying your laptop at any place (or even your neighbour) with a wifi network. So if your neighbour did not password his wifi, try it on his and see if it happens. Alternatively, go down to your local McDonalds or Starbucks, etc

But I think you proved that it's not your connection by having your sister over.

So now, it's trying to determine what your computer is doing when a flash video is loaded up.
Don't PM me. =(

Maybe it's just some software that's using up your bandwidth.

Ejectok

It happen recently so the last software I just download are Flash, Java, and new Firefox

You call your IP yet?

Anyways, without molesting your laptop, I can only make light level estimates.

Run Task Manager (ctrl+Alt+delete or right click bar and select task manager)
Monitor basic CPU usage (an idle PC should be 0-10%)
Monitor basic memory and page file usage

Fire up a browser
Start streaming. See if CPU usage is being hammered. Same with memory.

If something is increasing, sort the list of processes (make sure to select "show processes from all users) to see what is at the top.

If you see nothing, restart your laptop and load it up into safe mode, and try it again, see if there's any improvement.

I did what you did.

firefox.exe *32 and audiodg.exe are the only ones building up by a lot. The CPU usage goes 55-up when I stream.

「ⒻⓊⒸⓀⓎⒺⒶⒽ」

So while it's streaming, was the Firefox using up to 50% CPU? Constantly (rather than spikes).

audiodg.exe is the audio service in Windows Vista/7 so usually that's nothing to worry about, but I have seen it go high before from time to time but it didn't affect performance.

Try the next thing (we'll ignore Chrome and IE for now):

Disable ALL addons except Flash in your Firefox, then restart Firefox and stream again, see if there's improvement.

If it still does not help, try safe mode next. I suspect something is clashing or incompatible with your browser/GPU drivers (possibly). As I said, it's hard to describe/detail unless I view it for myself. :(

It goes up and down like normal usage but goes the highest out of all CPU programs.

audiodg.exe is the audio service in Windows Vista/7 so usually that's nothing to worry about, but I have seen it go high before from time to time but it didn't affect performance.
Ok just making sure because when I stream it built up usage but when they're moments when streaming runs smoothly/does not lag, firefox and audiodg.exe stays at 0 temporally.

Try the next thing (we'll ignore Chrome and IE for now):
I have tried Crome and IE way before to see it is doing it to all my browsers, but ok.

Disable ALL addons except Flash in your Firefox, then restart Firefox and stream again, see if there's improvement.
Done, no changes

If it still does not help, try safe mode next. I suspect something is clashing or incompatible with your browser/GPU drivers (possibly). As I said, it's hard to describe/detail unless I view it for myself. :(

I tried all 3 Safe Modes. all three of them won't let me access to internet

What anitvirus / firewall have you installed?

Make sure you have only 1 of both installed, active and up to date.

Additionally you can try to install and scan your pc with the following and see if its find anything.

I already have an anti virus that I am satisfy with, Norton. I know it is not a virus that is making this problem.


I would like to give more information on my problem. This is something I picked up, when I stream LIVE videos I don't have this problem. It is when I stream video that needs to buffer!

「ⒻⓊⒸⓀⓎⒺⒶⒽ」

So what if you let it buffer (fully) first and then play it?
Don't PM me. =(

Still does it. And Youtube doesn't buffer things fully anymore. It continues to buffer when pressing play.
