esarhaddon It could be all 3 of those things. Cheaper computers will be slower. VPNs create latency in the network, and faster networks will give better results than slower ones.

cjc2112 I would encourage you to ask what a person is using before you make comments about cheap computers. I had an Asus Z390e gamer with 32 gig Gskill DDR4-3600 and 3 M.2 NVME drive with 300 MBbs D/l internet. NOw I have an ASUS Z490e Gamer with the same other components as above and for some stupid reason, I don't think this is cheap junk!
Even with My VPN, I am running in excess of 180 Mbs D/L speeds and in excess of 300Mbs W/O and you are telling me that you have stated something relevant as to why I can't stream videos W/O buffering?

because this topic is old and talking about Edge 81.- esarhaddonNov 19, 2020Brass Contributor
HotCakeXThe Buffering problem I am seeing has to do with streaming videos, ewtube, and other types of live videos like Vimeo. I am convinced mine are being censored by Xfinity. BUT yes with 300Mbs D/L speed I can't stream vids without buffering. I have investigated any background work going on, including crypto mining, and see nothing there to inhibit them. I will drop from full resolution to down to 360 to 180 and finally it will just drop out to the rotating symbol for buffering and I will have to refresh the page to get it working again.
