Even with my ‘real’ (out-in-the-country 5.5mbit) broadband I’m still not yet convinced by streaming films. Nothing like a stutter to jerk you out of your immersion.
That's weird. The net connection at my dad's house is ridiculously bad. You'll be lucky if you can download at 60kb/sec, and this is what they call broadband (AT&T in Yorba Linda, CA). Yet Netflix movies stream without a hitch or a hiccup.

UK so no Netflix: I’m basing my previous comment on the TV catch-up services (iPlayer, ITV Player, 4OD). Maybe pay-for services commit to better QoS?
