friend i think so you are using a dail up connection and so you are facing such a problem. Even if you are using broadband what is the bandwidth of your broadband. Let me know even if its 256kbps you can watch a video within at the max half an hour not more that. There are lots of reasons for slow internet connection that is away from the local telephone exchange, line is not correct and other things. So make sure that you have every thing alright.

it might be because either your system has any problem or something. which can cause slow down your net speed. else it may be problem with your Internet Service Provider. contact the ISP person for slow down your net.

i think you should contact your service provider n ask them whats the problem because we don't know what's the dedicated speed they are providing you that is the main thing that is concerned with the slow or fastness of the connection. if you have a dedicated speed of 256kbps then it may be slow because data is not able to flow in speed. contact your service provider.

you clear the cache memory, and check the cable for any damage in it in the middle,if not ask the service provider to check the rest of the cable and the server for any change in settings in speed
