Poor sound/video quality, excessive buffering, and delays in connectivity are usually due to bandwidth problems on your network or ISP. Many Internet users are probably dialed in to your ISP, causing congested lines and using up most or all of the bandwidth.

If you are connecting through a Local Area Network (LAN), you might have similar problems as a result of the number of users and computers on your LAN. This condition is almost always temporary, and if you try back later, you will usually experience better results.

You might also have these types of problems when your computer's resources are limited. Try not to run other applications while accessing streaming media.
