Lately I have been experiencing interruptions on streaming video from Netflix Watching Instantly. The player often needs to pause for buffering up for more than a few minutes before playing video again. This occurs every a few minutes and i’t’s really annoying.

I’m using DSL and wireless AP at home. The streaming performance was very good in the past. There could be a few factors impacting the streaming: WiFi, ISP and Netflix.

I’m waiting to see if this is the case from other Netflix users. If so, I might discontinue the service as it’s really painful to watch a video with so many interruptions.

I have tested HQ video on youtube with good results. My DSL speed test result is pretty good too.
