1. I can't give you a number, but I am streaming using a Verizon connection to a single |
|
tower in a remote location. My internet connection is better than my phone connection.
We do have the box connected directly to the router and sometimes movies get interrupted several times during play.
But I have been pretty impressed with the streaming and buffering from Netflix (other services, including YouTube, do not seem to work nearly as well)

2. Thanks...Yeah, I have no problem streaming but |
|
I was wondering about HD streaming? It won't allow me to stream in HD or even DVD quality due to my ATT weak <3mbs.

3. I have been able to stream Netflix HD to my iPhone over 3G |
|
No interruptions, no problems at all.
At home, we stream over wireless direct to our dvd player and thence to the teevee.

I have a pretty slow connection; 2.99 today at Speedtest. Never had a single issue with Netflix streaming.
