To put 'Getting Netflix' into perspective for you, my home connection is 2 Mbps down, 1 Mbps up and I have no issue watching Netflix steams with good enough quality to be enjoyable. We choose to get this slow connection due to the cost ($15/mo) and see no reason to pay for higher tiers of speed from Time Warner.
- rkalla 12y agoReally surprising - I would have thought that would be a "total no-go" environment. Thanks for the data point!
- philsnow 12y agoNetflix and YouTube do a decent job of adjusting to the speed your connection is capable of (even if that changes during playback).
- sliverstorm 12y agoI'm sure I don't have access to your specific provider, but what kind of service is that? I've been looking to go cheap, all I really need is decent latency.
- bradfa 12y agoI have Time Warner Cable's "Everyday Low Price" package. Hopefully this link will work to show you their standard plans: http://www.timewarnercable.com/en/plans-packages/internet/internet-service-plans.html http://www.timewarnercable.com/en/plans-packages/internet/in... I'm not sure what you count as decent latency, but I don't believe there's any difference in latency between different TWC internet plans.
- bitbckt 12y agoI find the AppleTV (iTunes) experience particularly irritating, in light of how pleasant Netflix adaptive streaming is over the same connection.
