Well this is beginning to be a real puzzler for me. I ran into town and bought another wireless router/modem.
Certain noticeable differences, like my browser loads faster, Facebook loads faster and most of everything else that I do online is faster. But, the video issue is still an issue. Some players show a little improvement, but Adobe Flash still has choppy playback and audio out of sinc....Youtube and Hulu are about the same....but no ability to stream smoothly what so ever, which I find odd because of my results from speed test.com. I've tried three different computers; my main tower and two laptops (one wired and one wireless). I tried to view a Youtube clip on my wife's Nexus tablet (which of course is wireless) and found freezing and choppy playback also.
So I think we can rule out my main pc's age....
Any other ideas greatly appreciated...I think I'm going to discuss this with my isp and report back...
thanks again guys, for all the input..

oh ya, I tried three different browsers too....
