What hosting company are they using?
I insist with my previous questions still, any paysite owner / hosting expert which is not trying to sell me their hosting solution willing to answer them ?

Heres a great question, what bit rate are your videos encoded and your trying to stream. Lets go there. Steaming doesn't give much "buffer" for slow networks. Most of the time when people have problem viewing a stream its due to A. a crappy connection somewhere between the host and the end user. or b. the end user doesn't have enough bandwidth to watch the stream without running into play/pause/run situations.
Stream is that, it plays at the rate that you view it. when you download it sucks it down as fast as it can to the end user unless its throttled on the server.
