4. Re-buffering usually has more to with bandwidth

It's probably just that the machine serving the video is overloaded with people trying to watch the launch.

5. Oh I know, the IT dept continually complains about how we...
have a problem with bandwith. However, we are a huge company with 3 T1 lines coming in, bandwith shouldn't be a problem, but they can't seem to figure out what the problem is.

They had a moritorium on all streaming music, video, etc, to see if that was the problem, but to no avail, it still was slow as hell.
