I looked on a posted .txt file I found with a Google search and mine wasn't there. I changed my password anyway.

...something wonderful!

Thank you for that reminder Anonymous. I suggest that anyone with a doubt about that 60s technology read "Digital Apollo". Please get yourself informed before you start bad mouthing tech you know nothing about. I think it's great that NASA is making it a point to do some PR with Orion.

Let me also add, as further evidence of throttling, that I checked my connection on one instance by going to YouTube. I watched a high def video with no problems. I also went over to CBS and watched some streaming video with no problems. Vimeo, no problems. Then I went back to Netflix and tried again, and got the same old "your connection has slowed..."

I moved here to Tempe Arizona from Haiku, Maui, Hawaii two weeks ago. In Hawaii I could watch Netflix streaming video on my DSL connection with no problems at all. AND, my connection there was most def slower than here, and the telcom infrastructure there is behind what it is on the mainland USA. Explain that as BS please!

I have been experiencing the issue of throttling as well. I recently moved and have new DSL service so at first I was blaming my provider. However, after several evenings of being interrupted, I decided to test the connection with my provider's speed checking tools and found that I had a great connection! Then I went back to Netflix and noticed the little box that tells you what your video quality is. Mine was "high" so I started watching again. It paused to "buffer" and I checked the little box again. This time it said "low". Obvious bandwidth throttling.

So what's the deal Netflix? Could it be that the weak economy is hurting your bottom line and this your way of weeding out thousands of customers?? Are you doing this just to get people frustrated enough that they'll stop using "watch instantly"? I for one will now be firing up the viewer in the evenings and just letting it run, thus wasting your time and energy. You throttle me and I'll just step on the gas pedal harder. Good luck with that.

I like this idea. Wouldn't it be a good thing if we had a law like that here in the USA?? Putting aside the issues of what would constitute a download of a copywritten material, what I really like is it takes away costly litigation and disproportionate settlements a la RIAA!!
