Might be worth temporarily disabling those during speedtesting just in case. Also, try different browsers and make sure to clear your cache, agin just in case.

I cannot play trailers from IMDB on this XP SP3 desktop but have no problems on a laptop or iPad. I guess it is because of some adblocking soft I have installed. However I have tried disabling everything that I can find that may be involved with any success. I've given up and now watch trailers on Youtube. That's PC's for you.

Java normally gets updated whenever I see the message 'Java update available' on screen.

At this moment in time I am using the Superhub as a modem and from there directly to my pc. With or without my gaming router attached so far has made zero difference.
I hope you crack the issue and look forward to hearing the explanation.
