Hello MIU,
I tried Netflix using my 512k internet connection. I watched around 5hours
of a TV Show and encountered almost no buffering at all. I would say a
total of 2-3 minutes of buffering for the entire five hours. The video
quality was not HD. But it wasn't bad at all. I would compare it to the
480p that youtube offers.
Honestly, I am pleasantly surprised that Netflix streaming works so well on
512k internet connection I am using.
Thanks and Regards,
