Netflix streaming, is 11.5 mbps enough?

also: what device is best for good quality pic and sound?

Thinking of buying a streaming device, maybe with a hard drive that could surf the net for videos?

That is the direction I am thinking of but maybe the technology is still too new, I do not know.

any info/suggestions appreciated

thanks

My provider is Centurylink. I have had very poor service and speed issues. I was still able to stream Netflix even down to about 6-7mbps. I have "up to 12mps" but never have gotten that fast service.

ps I have a Roku HD, I think i would get something that lets me surf the net next time I upgrade Apple TV?

That's plenty fast. My service is around 10 Mbps, and the only problems I have are on the Netflix end. Apple TV and Roku are cheap ways to try streaming.

I am now thinking of an Oppo Digital Bdp-93 to use with my Uverse via Ethernet.

Every time I have checked my speed it has read 11.5 mbps which is was more stable than my cable was.

I will look into Apple TV too

thanks guys!
