Netflix has trouble streaming HD on my 5MB connection. Unfortunately, I can't simply pick a lower quality; Netflix has to decide to do that on its own, and it might take several tries. It does offer a free month, though, so you have time to evaluate. They used to allow several users to stream from the same account simultaneously, but they're cutting that out. That's too bad for families of more than one person. Messing with physical disks is certainly a pain. I'd much rather stream or download.
