Are you sure your speed test showed 42Mbps download speed? Not 42 Kbps, or KBps? If it's really 42 Mbps you should have a screaming fast connection. When you looked at the Networking graph in Task Manager, did the graph show that there was a high percentage of activity all the time? You really shouldn't be having any problem streaming YouTube videos with a 42 Mbps connection.
