Internet drops while streaming

My internet connection drops when I'm on certain streaming websites e.g Youtube. Other than that my connection is fine speed wise and rarely drops.
Any ideas?

Hi ArsenalJarr,
Welcome to out community forums.
Your connection is certainly dropping;

Is if definitely only happening when you're streaming? Have you noticed if your phone line has any interference/crackling?

Your connection is very intermittent and I don't think the above graph shows them all unfortunately.
Are you able to connect your router into your Test Socket with an alternative microfilter?

Yes I have connected with an alternative microfilter yet it still disconnected when I stream a video.

Do you have an alternative router you can try?
