Anyone have a 5-6 megabit/sec connection and can do Netflix HD movies ok? Looks like Netflix says 5 is the minimum required for HD, but I'm wondering if Comcast's advertised "6 mpbs" is really 6.
We have something like 25 mpbs now, but thinking of going down a notch just to save dough..
We have a 6 mbps connection, DSL, AT&T. We don't do HD movies on Netflix but regular movies are okay. It pixelates a bit every now and then, on a 23" or smaller LCD it's hard to notice, on our not-very-huge 40" TV it's noticeable.
I haven't had cable in forever, maybe the mid 90s? Unfortunately it means that when we visit friends/restaurants with cable and there's something happening (Superbowl, playoffs of some kind, Tour coverage) we get drawn into the TV, mostly for the ads and stuff. Then I spend a bunch of time watching funny ads on YouTube.
