Buffering time on a streaming video

Any geek here able to point me to a solution?

My streaming site streams cca 90 minute long HD movies encoded into XH 264. The bit rate is about 2,000.

The problem appears to be, that if I try to jump to, lets say into the middle of a movie or jump back, I get the buffering "spinning wheel of patience" for up to 2 minutes before the video resumes.

The site is a paid VOD and NOT a tube, yet when I look and most free tubes ( claiming to be HD) like Xvideo or xHamster their buffering is just a few seconds long , so it is NOT my Internet speed.

Any ideas why?
