Has netflix streaming sucked for anyone lately/

First I blamed my AppleTV and now just get a roku (love it!) - same problem. Hulu plus, amazon on demand and iTunes all work great, anyone else have issues lately?
 
Your ISP may have a poor peering relationship with netflix. Comcast (in my area) always sucked for netflix. AT&T is much much better (with a smaller pipe). It could also be the non-shared nature of the tech.
 
Yes, I've been trying to finish up Farscape and haven't been able to watch a full episode the last few days due to the stuttering mess Netflix has been.
 
It's been hit or miss lately with my UVerse connection. I'm switching back to TW again due to the bandwidth caps.
 
Good thing I finally had time to stream Restropo earlier today. Might be deploying to Afghanistan so am starting my research now.
 
World is coming to an end people, first middle east, then Japan and now this...

D'oh! I was going to watch something tonight, luckily I have Hulu+ and some shiny disc things as a backup.

(It's been fine for me until tonight.)

This, mainly. Additionally, the last 2 months or so, it seems like it's check on my internet speed to know what quality to stream has been failing. On both the 360 and the PC, I've occasionally seen movies interrupted to adjust streaming quality and it always ended up worse -sometimes, it seems like it's worse than freakin SD. I'm the only PC on the network with a 20/15 fios connection The only thing using the network on the PC while I'm watching movies on the 360 is a distributed computing client that I know doesn't take much bandwidth and doesn't take it often. My wireless is secure, so I don't know where the bandwidth is disappearing to. Maybe it's the Netflix service?

Ditto - quality has been inconsistent and changes bitrates quite often, always for the worse. I'd say for the past 3 months or so. Friday/weekend nights are miserable, that's why I attributed it to local bandwidth (cable), but speedtests all come back fine.
 
It figures. I finally convince my mom to start netflix streaming this weekend. I set up her TV to get to netflix and last night she started adding stuff to her instant queue that people at her job suggested.

I guess I'll be getting a phone call.
