I'm an IT security expert with CISCO CCNA certification, comfortable tackling advanced technical challenges. The system has ample processing power (3070, 64GB RAM, i7-11700K) and no background processes are active. Resources remain above 90% utilization. Connection speed is roughly 1Gbps in full duplex mode via a standard coaxial cable, not fiber-optic. Overall download and upload speeds are satisfactory under normal conditions. Playing videos works well across resolutions—720p or 4K—but the playback stalls unexpectedly after a few seconds, freezing for extended periods without resuming until manually skipped ahead. Once resumed, buffering restarts normally, but the issue recurs intermittently as the buffer continues to behave erratically. Thank you for reading; if you have any ideas or experiences to share, please comment.

Checks if it's a particular platform like YouTube or a general video source. Determines whether it's a specific site or any video, then asks about the graphics card used and driver status.

@GrofD If you don't mind sharing: Speed of cable connection you're paying for Speeds you are actually able to achieve: speedtest.net , fast.com See if there's any bufferbloat Make/model of router and PC's NIC Any unique LAN layouts/hardware

It's a 3070 with current drivers; specific locations work well. This doesn't happen with YouTube, though issues arise only on certain sites and not on other devices.

1. ~1Gbps Latency: Fast.com displays speeds between 900Mbps and 1.2Gbps.
2. Buffering issues: Latencies are low when unloaded; download is about 11 ms, upload around 35 ms, speed drops during download.
3. Performance notes: Near maximum speeds available, but low latency gaming isn’t optimal.
4. Hardware details: The device runs as the default provider version. Logging into the gateway takes roughly 20 seconds to reach key pages like status or security. Identified as Technicolor CGA4236TCH1. Possible cause was suspected, though similar problems aren’t seen on other devices. NIC is a Gigabyte Z590 UD onboard chip, appearing as Realtek Gaming GbE Family Controller in adapter settings.
5. Cabling setup: Direct Cat5E cables through walls work well; no electrical wires detected. Uses a switch (likely D-link unmanaged 8-port GbE). Assumed model DGS-108. Both PC and router operate in full duplex. Appreciate the assistance.

I'm not sure if you're referring to a single video or multiple from a particular source. Are you asking about a general video, a specific file type like .mkv, or something else you're trying to play?

The situation becomes more complex. You were hoping for a certain level of quality, but it seems the issue lies elsewhere. Check the guidelines for talking about illegal matters.
