Also, what size is your browser cache? Have you tried clearing it?

What bitrate are the videos? Even a broadband connection will sometimes have trouble with 500kb/s streaming videos. If you have a slow connection stick to lower quality videos. Sometimes waiting for the video to fully download before hitting the Play button will eliminate the freezes.

Depending on the file format of the videos, if you right-click the video screen while it's playing, there should be some options to improve the speed or quality. Increase the buffer size to improve streaming.
