Bad Buffering - Puppy™ - Mar 9, 2015

Hello all,
To keep this short and sweet I'm wondering if anyone can assist me with the following issue. I am unable to stream movies, tv shows, etc, whether through official outlets such as Netflix or other platforms. I mean, I CAN stream. But I have to wait ages for the buffering bar to get far enough ahead so as I can watch the stream without the video constantly pausing and such. For example, I've been watching Game of Thrones online. To buffer a 53 minute episode halfway through it takes nearly that amount of time. I don't think this should be the case as I have decent PC and Internet specs (which I'll post below). While streaming typically all I'll have running is one additional browser tab and a game (Runescape). I've ran MalwareBytes and it detected nothing malicious on my PC that could hinder this.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Update your plugins and drivers. That seems like the only solution.
