Videos loading slowly?

Just recently, certain HD videos, wether it's YT, or Amazon, won't load or stream, without pausing?
Here are the specs on my PC: MSI mobo, with DVI and hdmi outputs, AMD 6 core proceessor, 8gb of ram. About 6 weeks ago, my 4 y.o. VC pooped the bed, and the geeks that diagnosed it assured me, that I wouldn't need it for streaming. Since I'm not really into gaming, I haven't replaced it.
Here's what I've checked so far: I've got Win7 up to date, along with MS Essentials; I just d.l.'d Flash 11, which I thought might be the problem, it wasn't.
I did a disk clean, and a speed test: 30mbs down, <1mbs up, so it doesn't appear to be my connection speed.
And no, I'm not running a utilites app(should I?)
WTF is the problem? Is it at my end, or is the internet too freaking utilized?

I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!

Check for firmware updates on modem and router. I traded in my ancient Motorola modem yesterday and also bought a new Netgear N900. GOt it all set up and I'm getting about 31-32 down now. I'd shut it down then relog into whatever your streaming source is and see what happens. Maybe reset the router too."Thats great... but how does it sound"
