300 megabippys AND a fast compooter OUGHT to mean that is no problem. I say OUGHT because I still have random buffering happening, even at those speeds, somehow. It seems to be WAY more prevalent when I go to Full Screen mode. I think I need a Geek Squad Exorcist.

By chance are you using Amazon FireTv Sticks?
I ask because I've had drops and buffering issues with mine. I learned that when that happens if I unplug the power to them for a minute and restart it helps.
Also going to "settings/restart" helps.
Another thing that sometimes helps is to go to "manage apps", force close the app and then and clear the cache on each app.

I am usually streaming direct to my PC, via the ESPN app, using my YoutubeTV

subscription as credentials to get ACCNx, or ACCN, whatever channel we are on.
I sometimes have to use a Firestick, which I also have, to get OUT of a peculiar problem with YoutubeTV streaming via the PC. Sometimes, if it is a program I have recording via the "Library" feature of YoutubeTV, and I start watching it before the end of the actual broadcast, it will randomly "jump back" to the beginning of the broadcast, or even to the last few minutes of the show that was on before the recording started. And if it ever does it once, it will continue to do it randomly, about every five to fifteen minutes, and I have to advance it back to where I was watching it before the jump. It is VERY aggravating, and according to YouTubeTV tech support, I must be the only one in the world it is happening to. RIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGHHHT.

I'd hazard a guess they worked at Comcast, prior. That can't end well.

I finally got tired of the freezes and buffering with my 1st Gen FireTV Stick 4Ks and decided to try the newest model (2nd Gen) FireTV Stick 4K Max that has a quad-core 2.0GHz processor, 850MHz GPU and 16GB storage.
Wow! All my problems were resolved. After I set it up, I left it on all day and had no freezes or buffering issues at all.
So, I ordered a 3rd Gen FireTV Cube for the L/R tv - octa-core 4x2.2GHz 4x2.0GHz processor, 800MHz GPU, 16GB storage, 2GB memory. It arrived late yesterday. I set it up and left it running all night. This morning, it was still on the job.
These newer devices are waaaaaay better than the older ones, which caused me a lot of trouble, including wasted money buying new modem, router, powerline adapters, etc.
I finally have a stable system for IPTV streaming.
