As far as I can tell, it *may* have a lot to do with your broadband speed, but
it *should not*.
Like I said, within any given program, everything might stream just fine,
except for one ad. It's possible that the one problem ad is being transmitted
only in HD, and a link like ours can't stream it properly, but there's no
excuse for that to happen.
There may be other causes for these buffering delays. But if they do not occur
consistently, on everything you stream, but rather only certain content and
only on certain sites, then attributing the problem to broadband speed doesn't
make sense.
E.g., the exact same ad, I have a particular Geico ad in mind, streams
perfectly from cbs.com and atrociously from abc.com.
Our Amazon Prime service is pretty flawless. I use a PC, my wife usually uses
Roku, and it works well on both.
