A tracert would tell you whether there's a bottleneck somewhere between
you and the CBS site. That would explain a large amount of buffering,
but, unless the slowdown is very close to you, there's nothing that can
be done about it. Run a tracert any time it's slow to see if there's a
reason for the delays.
Compare to these DSL speeds. Of course, that was at 5:00, not in the
evening when many people are downloading this and other programs.
To run a tracert, click Start, Run, type:
CMD (Press Enter)
type:
TRACERT CBS.COM
