Why Streaming Video Starts And Stops On The Internet

There are a number of possible causes discussed below, especially if one or more happen at the same time.

  1. The video may be encoded specifically to be delivered at speeds greater than the modem connection speed. This is a common mistake most video producers make. In an effort to try and make the video look or sound better, they use less compression when they encode the video.

  2. The next possibility is similar to the first one, but it is not the fault of the video producer. In this instance, you might be using a 28.8 modem and trying to watch a video which has been encoded specifically for 56K modem users (or faster). It would be a good idea to offer multiple versions of the same video clip so all visitors can enjoy a clear video. Normally, your choice of videos are clearly labeled, so be observant, and don't ever attempt to watch a video clip encoded for a speed faster than your connection.

  3. A third possibility is that there is too little bandwidth available at the originating ISP. The only thing you can do is try again later to see if there is less bandwidth demand at a different time of day.

  4. The fourth possibility is that there is network congestion along the path or route. This is the same as rush hour traffic and happens frequently on the Internet at different times of the day depending upon your location. Try watching during non-rush hour times.

  5. The final possibility is that there is too little bandwidth available at the point of reception, or your ISP. This again is symptomatic of an Internet service provider who has oversold his available bandwidth connection and this is getting more common. Bandwidth is like a hose in that only so much water can come through at a time. If your ISP has a lot of their customers logged on at any given moment, and they're each requesting various forms of data from different websites, each user can only receive a limited amount of data. It's time for your ISP buy more available bandwidth.
