If your line speed is being detected correctly (see next question), you may have BlackIce Defender installed, which for at least two people was causing big performance problems for streaming video. I am not aware of a resolution for this other than removing BlackIce, but the newest version of BlackIce seems to fix this, so updating to a newer version should be the first option tried. Interestingly, the buggy old SoundBlaster Live reportedly can also cause choppy playback.
