Re: Number of movies on streaming The new movies aren't really worth it on netflix anyway. Netflix is good for obscure stuff. TV shows and foreign things like anime. Besides new releases you usually have to wait a month after they are released anyway. Netflix DVD rental cues on new releases especially movies can take forever. Took me about 2 months to get Avatar after it was released on Netflix. After seeing it I can't see what all the hype was for either. Glad I saved 20 bucks there. Thanks Netflix. As for their streaming all I can say it could use some work. Constantly stops and buffers. Even tried it out on a friend of mines cable connection. Did the same thing. Streaming not ready for prime time in my opinion. |

Very rarely do I get a buffer screen and when I do it's because my connection speed took a dip. My fiance and I stream on two different tvs at the same time and don't have a problem, and I only have a 10 mbps connection. |

I am using a the Virgin mobile Pay-as-you-go usb card for my main home internet for a while and Netflix even streams fine after some buffing and plays through. My dl speed is usually around .9 to 1.6mbps.
Don't even watch much tv anymore.

I would have to say you have an issue on your end if your streaming experience is not good.
I onlly have a 3meg connection and never once in two years have seen stop and buffers. Sometimes we are streaming two shows at the same. One on a Roku and onther on a laptop. |
