I'm not convinced it's on my end ! was hoping someone else had a similar issue and there may be fix,I have contacted msnbc and their site states that the shear volume received daily they do not reply,there help section is very long and does not address this issue,I'm by no means an expert and my reply to the speed test was maybe a mistake ?
 I joined this site many years ago(had too re-register) and found a helpful group of folks that gave great advice and tips to fix issues with my old XP,my hope was this is still the same kind of place

Just ocurred to me...have you tried another media player such as VLC ? ?

I wanted to wait a few days before reporting back,I down loaded VLC made it my default,maybe a coincidence ? seemed to work a little better for nbc, no improvement on vimeo ,will continue using it next week,report to follow

Good morning,It's been a week,wanted to report back I experimented with different browers,disabled  VLC a few times ,didn't seem to make much difference one way or another,as of now back to chrome VLC activated speed @ 6.38 MPS ,msnbc is a little better Vimeo not so much,I wish there was a way to communicate with these folks to figure out a fix ,frustrated in Idaho!!
