Since being moved to a 40MB fibre optic broadband we are getting sppeds up 35MB - so far so good.
YouTube videos play great, no buffering etc however when playing HD trailers from www.imdb.co.uk, the picture is jerky as if frames are being skipped while playing the trailer.
Its not our pc, CPU usage is around 55% so what might it be?
Any ideas?
Thanks

Tried the above and it is coming down at a steady 4Mbps or a bit more with no problems and the buffer is running ahead of the play point
However checking another one and I notice two things - the CPU usage peaks up to about 70% and it keeps downloading even when the video is paused so try pausing the download and then restarting it - I monitored the download using Bandwidth Monitor

We did try pausing it and restarting it. The download is fast enough, it seems to be just the playing of this film clip.
Can you try the Thin Ice trailer?

Which BandWidth monitor do you suggest?
Thanks

The best bandwidth (and usage) monitor by far is http://www.softperfect.com/products/networx/

For a dual-core CPU (or Hyper-threading single core), 55% overall would imply that the thread is maxing out the core its running on (50%).

Quote from: CX23882 55% CPU - is this overall percentage or on a particular processor core?

I'll check the spec of my sony vaio laptop and get back to you. It's 2/3 years old. At the time we bought it it was a high spec and has the facility to burn blu-ray disks.
Cheers.
