I always get frequent annoying breaks in YouTube videos. Is this just my computer, and if so what can I do to cure the problem?

I'm no expert, but I had similar YouTube problems whilst with a previous ISP with a sloooooow internet connection.

Is there a problem when you watch Antennadec videos?

Hit the pause button on the video until it's finished downloading, at least that should stop the breaks.

I had buffering problems with my old groaning XP Professional machine. When I got the iMac no issues :)

...or use one of the available YouTube downloaders, and watch it off your own drives

Click on the little cog and reduce the image quality: The options can range from 240 to 360, 480, 720 even 1080. In the olden days everything came at 360 and you could select "high quality" 480 if your computer was powerful enough. Mine wasn't then, and it still isn't now.

In my situation, my broadband speed is plenty fast enough but it's my PC's video card that's the limiting factor. So even downloading the videos first doesn't make them play any better.
