Streaming services constantly buffering in the evening

When watching streams (twitch/netflix in particular) whatever I'm watching will start buffering every few seconds. This only happens in the evening though, while online gaming is completely unaffected. I ran a speed test just now while the lag is insufferable and, accordingly, I get exactly what I pay for (30/10 mbit - 11ms). Downloading also seems to run every bit as fast in the evening as any other time of the day, it's literally only streaming services that are affected. Browser type doesn't seem to matter either. Chrome lags, Firefox lags.
>Microsoft Edge fucking lel
Is there anything at all I can do about this, or am I just gonna have to accept watching 144p in the evening as my lot in life? Windows 10, if relevant.

from my experience the most used sites are buffering alot. i am not into netflix and stuff but for me changing the source always changed the lag.
also try installing more then one internet browser. they all come with some handy features.
you should not have to accept 144p in the civilized parts of the world.
your download rate is more then enough for good video quality stream.

It's a pain in the ass for sure, especially seeing as my roommates and I are into E-sports. I'm going to try your suggestions. Thanks for replying, Anon.

Your ISP could be over-utilized. Or you are simply accessing streaming services at peak times this usually applies to DSL companies it is required to have at least 6 mbs to comfortably watch streaming services.

Use streamlink, you wonk. Or bite the bullet and learn how QoS works.

I figured my ISP was at fault, but it just seems weird that it's only streaming services that are affected. My latency sits at a comfortable ~23ms 24/7 while gaming. With a 30/10 mbit connection, I reckon I should be fine, right?

I'll give streamlink a shot when the lag returns tonight (yurofag)
