Re: [PLUG] Netflix & FiOS (was Re: Cord Cutting Options)

I've been streaming NetFlix with FiOS for ~ 6 months and haven't seen any problems. It does seem

to be a turbulent time in this space though, so there's no guarantees. Used to have horrible issues with

YouTube, but that has cleared up as of ~ 2 months ago. Not sure if it's related to blocking certain youtube ip

ranges as suggested on random forums or not.

FiOS user here too -- I use it on my Macs, PS3, iPad, iPhones, AppleTV and, if all else fails, the Wii. No problems to report, nor with Amazon Prime streaming.

YouTube, however, tends to stutter to a degree that's unseemly.

Interestingly, bandwidth is not smooth, but has large peaks and valleys. Peaks go over 3MB/second, but if you only had 1.5MB/second service (with DSL, for example), I think you'd be ok (as long as nothing else in the house was using bandwidth at that time).
