I have to do this at least 2-3 times per day if not more. I really wanted CenturyLink with their fiber optic service but they said our new build in Bradford wasn't covered.
Trust me, do NOT get their 25 mbps! You will be sorry.
PS: Not to be rude but if you can afford to buy a (I assume 2nd) home here with all the fees and so on and fly back and forth to here, don't be a cheapskate and skimp on the Internet.

In all probability, your issue is your wireless integrity in the configuration; not your Spectrum service.
As a simple test get a Cat 5a (or Cat 6) "patch cable (extension cable) and connect your device that is buffering directly to a Router port and see if the buffering quits. They make these cables in varying lengths; get one long enough to reach any device you have and you can test any one whenever you wish.
