From Netflix.com;How fast does my broadband Internet connection need to be to watch instantly?
Watching instantly works with all different levels of broadband, however, we recommend a minimum speed of 500kbps (0.5MB).
Thank you. I've come across that before. I was just wondering if anyone had real world experiences. According to that info, I could watch movies instantly, but many times I can't even watch a youtube video without hitting pause and letting it get a good head start or it will buffer or pause during the video.
