I've been using the Netflix service since June, with the Roku box.
It has 4 different qualities, plus 2 additional for HD which are
supported only on XBox360 until the next few weeks.
500k/1100/1600/2200 for SD
2600/3600 for HD.

Did I interpret your data correctly to mean that if you had a sustained
256Kbps it would work?

Yes, the HD quality is surprising good! Heck, at 1600 or 2200 the shows
are real close to DVD. I watch most of it on a 40inch LCD and don't
have any issues with quality!

Chuck it won't work, here are some more specifics, on the codecs

The bottom two streams 500/1000k are pretty low quality. We are a

for product bundles.
OK, but if you look at Dennis's data, it appears to me that the average was
in the hundreds of K.
But maybe I didn't read it correctly.

I have been streaming Netflix movies as well as Hulu and CBS content for
quite sometime now on the Xbox using MediaMall's PlayOn. It is a great piece
of free (for now) software that lets you interface to major content

No not Kbps but rather KBps so multiply it all with 8 to get Kbit.
From my own checks I see peaks of well over 2.5Mbit with Netflix on highest
quality. As much as 3-3.5Mbit as a matter over a 5Min average.

Too bad, I was getting excited. Thought there was some kind of miracle of

Lowest quality is so bad IMO that you do not want to watch it on full screen
but watch it on a youtube size picture frame and you will have a movie that
is in pare to little better then youtube. Highest quality looks like DVD
quality and is quite enjoyable. Second to best is alright. The second to
Now we just need Mikrotik to add a category like "all-p2p" but called
"all-video" so I can throttle that too. :)
TV belongs on satellite. It's the best use of resources.

Yep, low stinks. Like I said though, watched a number of movies on it
on a 40 inch LCD, looks great! Have had VERY little in hicups, etc.
Near DVD quality on the non-HD streams. :) works great.

I'm seeing 6 meg streams bursts but afterward showing the ~1.5 meg stream
average.
When starting the stream it detects quality and such, it would do about 2.5
megs for a good 10 seconds. Then the video started (Super High Me in this
case) and it did 6 megs for a good 5 minutes. The stream then

I'm all for open systems. Limiting the amount of bandwidth at any level is,
to me, a terrible thing to do. I understand that it doesn't necessarily fit
the model as it applies to today's business for many ISPs, but, maybe its
time to change the model.
This is where the separation of providers
It will further the digital divide. Rural remote locations will be again left

at $75/mth. Cheapest T1 here is over $600/mth, and fiber? forget it, can't get
it unless you want to build about 4 towers just to
In areas like yours, though, some would argue that is the perfect place for
