Because you are able to watch the video, though it’s slow, the issue is how quickly your computer connects to the internet. When your computer is trying to play a video that is still being downloaded, you'll experience a dragging, stuttering, or jerkiness in the video playback.
There are four suggestions we can recommend:
- Play a video, then immediately pause it & let more of the video load before playing (the progress bar just below the video will show how much of the video has been downloaded to your computer);
- Contact your ISP (internet service provider) to see if they are having any issues (sometimes they can identify a problem on their end that they need to correct, which will increase your speed);
- Change your contract with your ISP to upgrade to a faster connection speed (we would recommend 1.5Mbps or higher); or
- Change to an ISP that can provide the speeds you need.
