I was advised to use Auto DNS by AfriGenie.
I had this problem a little while back, my DNS settings was cited as being the issue.

Leaving your DNS on Automatic is definitely the preferred option, AfriFella was just confirming with you.
What sort of speeds are you getting at the moment?

Twitch is constantly buffering, Twitter is also loading slowly.

On Twitch, can you please enable the Video Stats and let that run for a few minutes and post that here.

Pretty low throughput numbers here
Are you comfortable with a tool like iftop to see where the source IP is to run further tests from there?

No, I'm not comfortable with a tool like iftop sorry.
Are you on Windows?
Also, are you other streaming services affected or are you only seeing a poor experience on Twitch?

I am indeed using Windows.
My main streaming services are Twitch and YouTube. YouTube isn't affected but Twitch is heavily affected.
Not picking up any issues with Twitch itself, but it tends to be problematic across the board. Intermittent at best, regardless of ISP from our testing.
Maybe look at installing Wireshark to see the source IP, we could figure out what's causing the issues from there?

What video on twitch are you trying to watch? Let me have a look. Ive had issues this last few weeks so let me see if its bad on my side
Run a data dump
You'll need to sift through lots of data, but you should be able to track down a Twitch source IP for the content that you're viewing.

Twitch buffers for me on high quality, but is okay on medium.
Twitch is very fussy... I dont use twitch, i dont really see why people enjoy watching others play, but it does buffer quite a bit.
Switching to youtube, and i get 0 buffering on 720p, so seems at least that issue on my side has been resolved.
So im guessing Twitch just doesnt play nice around our part of the world
