I pay for my Netflix subscription. And when I want to watch a movie on my projector, I first torrent it (fiber optic, takes two minutes top), then play it. No random Internet issue. I torrent the x264 "webRIP" which I figure out is basically the film I paid for the right to watch using my subscription. I'm not a "data hoarder" / movie collector: I watch the movie then delete it. Same for series.
I started doing this after I upgraded my Netflix subscription to a higher tier then noticed streaming quality on OS X was still crap.

If you use Chrome or another browser, yeah quality does suck. Chrome does not support the DRM that the studios require for higher bitrate streaming
