No stream available on Genesis, tried everything!

Question

I've looked through your page here: https://kinkeadtech.com/2015/10/troubleshooting-kodi-genesis-streaming-issues/ But none of the tips are of any help. It's the same issue every time, on everything I try to watch, and if depends on the quality of the video link I click.
If it's HD, it won't even load and just instantly says ''No Stream Available''.
If it's HQ, it spends a long time loading, and after it's done it says ''No Stream Available''.
If it's MQ, it does load, but the video buffers horrendously.
And if it's LQ, it still buffers, slightly less, but still very horrendously.
 
I think it may have something to do with the internet, as my sister is having the exact same problem with her computer, but just in our house.
To be honest... I did neglect to try the ''Get Around Geo-Blocking or ISP Throttling with a VPN'' part of your Troubleshooting page, as I wouldn't want to get involved with dodgy VPN programs, but if judging by what I've said, you think that's what I should do, then I guess I'll give it a try.
So, what do you think? Is there possibly another thing I could try? Because that VPN stuff is really my last resort.

Results show Ping at 8ms, Download Speed at 11.33mbps, and Upload Speed at 1.22mbps.
Guess I'll try getting a VPN then.

Alright, I got CyberGhost v5.5, and all HQ links seem to be working fine, minus a tiny bit of buffering at the start sometimes.
Though, I can't get any HD links to work still. Some say ''No Stream Available'' and some are loading up, but then just never appear.

It sounds like you have slow Internet service.  What speeds do you get by using http://speedtest.net ?
 
If you are actually getting good speeds according to the test, then you may be facing the ISP throttling issue, so a VPN service may be your solution.
 
However, if your speed test shows low speeds like under 10mbps, then you should start by upgrading your Internet speeds.
