Searching on the internet there seems to be about 6 main ones all claiming to be the best.
As I cannot find any independent sites that have tested these programs.
Can the members of this forum help me?

I find the best way is to upgrade to a faster video card - software solutions often perform much less than they claim... they also use up valuable processing power and are not compatible with all applications.

As Peter has suggested, most video acceleration is achieved through the actual hardware and the driver.
At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.

As to what I am trying to do it is to reduce or stop buffering on sites like you tube.

I can't see any dropped connections on your line, your usage is fine and your profile is over 17Mb so I can't see anything on your account that might be causing this.
Is it all video streaming sites, i.e. iPlayer, youtube, vimeo etc? Also, if you could post your computer's specifications that'd help (you can get this by right clicking on 'Computer' or 'My Computer' and going to Properties) - if you could post the Processor speed, amount of memory and also (if you know) what graphics card it is that'd be really handy.
I suspect it may be an older PC hence why I'm asking, so possibly that could be the reason for the slowdown.

My computer is a Toshiba L670 Laptop.
Intel Core i5 CPU M 450 @ 2.40GHz
8.00 G.B. ram (7.86 usable).
This computer came with 4 G.B. and was upgrade over 1 year ago to 8 G.B.
Windows 7 Home Premium
I do not know how to find out about the graphics card
It is iplayer and you tube and all similar sites that need lots of buffering

In that case, as walker23 says - do you connect to the router using wireless or wired? If it is wireless, please try connecting via an ethernet cable and see if that makes a difference?

Also check for any other background apps that may be monitoring your traffic as your laptop spec should be more than capable of handling any kind of streaming available.
