1 edit | Netflix streaming movies and the cap So Netflix is coming to the Xbox 360 in the fall update. Does that mean when I stream my Netflix movies through there using my Comcast connection I'll be hitting the cap pretty fast? If so that's ridiculous since I pay for three services (Xbox Gold sub, Netflix sub, Comcast sub). | |

It depends on NetFlix compression, it's likely no more than 1GB/hr or 2GB for a movie depending on quality offered. That's a lot of movies, one a night is still only 60GB.

That is what Tomato firmware on my router has been telling me. We see that we would need to average 10 hours a day over a period of 25 days to get to that 250G cap. Even though there are two subscriptions here, that is highly unlikely. We only do Instant Watch when we're waiting for DVDs, so the bulk of our Netflix viewing is not using our internet connection, anyway.
