How are you recieving Netflix on the road

I just realized last week when I was home that Netflix really has nothing in it. I tried to watch a movie with my niece and we couldn't find anything. I'm dropping it after I finish breaking bad.

 

For movies, yes Netflix does suck. Seems like every movie I'd like to see again, new or old, Netflix does not offer it, but what do you want for less then $10 month? That said, Netflix DOES have a lot to offer in terms of sit-coms, drama series, and other stuff. There are a lot of other online movie sources such as Amazon and VUDU and these offer MUCH more movies on a "rental" basis.

 

That speed is barely good enough for HD but it's ok for SD. Unfortunately that speed check can be all over the place especially at peak times. I've seen it drop to 5mbps all the way down from 15mbps. Being a wifi signal doesn't help either. Much better to be hard wired which of course is not possible on the road. That's why you really have to go pretty high in speed as we may do at home. On the road it's not possible to go to speeds I'd be interested in which is about 30-50 mbps. DSL is antiquated now. It never was any good and is being taken over by a much more sophisticated infrastructure in fiber optics. By all accounts AT&T have got a great service which has a constant speed that doesn't diminish. Something that is not achievable with our internet service. The downside to getting the AT&T service is that I would have to replace a lot of my hardware concerning delivering the internet signal. IMHO streaming on the road has a long way to go for it to be up to snuff but I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to this. You also should be aware that the big boys in providing the internet such as Verizon, may well deliberately slow down your speeds. They're more than capable of doing it. That's why they cap the amount of data they allocate to each subscriber. I'm gonna pass on streaming for now and enjoy my bluray collection.
good luck.

 

Also, not all 4g and/or LTE is the same in terms of data throughput. You can have 5 bars of of LTE in a rural area but the data speed will be dismal. Then again, where you'd expect poor data service, it may actually run great. The data speed can vary wildly from one group of towers to the next.
