Netflix Streaming Movies: There seems to be a problem!

Netflix seems to be throttling their streaming content to Xbox users. It seems that other Netflix ready devices are not as throttled, and of course new users are not throttled, but me with my high use account are.

The problem is they are telling me that my internet connect is too slow. So I have spend much time trying to figure this out and have come to the conclusion the problem is Netflix not shooting straight.

If you have some info on this situation, please leave a comment (even if you are having no problems).

im quite offended, considering i can search up a movie or tv show ie; family guy, 10 000 BC, the simpsons, south park and i am not alowwed to watch it because i am canadian? all my american friends are alowwed to watch these titles freely, and i am not ? this service blows, canadians also dont get an instant queue i think i may unsubscribe to their services

@IJizPenutButter I am quite sure that there are either laws or compensation (or lack there of) preventing this, but not Canadian phobia or discrimination.

Ok I Have An Xbox 360 Elite ...!!! There Are A Few Things I Would Like To Say The Xbox Seems To Have Issues Once In Awhile But I Also Have PS3, And Wii, They Both Work Flawless Anytime Of The Day Every Day. I Think It Is A Combo Of The Xbox 360 And Netflix That Is Creating These Issues.!! Try The Wii It Never Failed Me I Have Watched It For 6 Months No Slow Connection Or Anything. It Is Blazing, I Feel Liek The Xbox Is More Like A CPU Could Be The Underlining Prob, Soon They Will Wok The Glitchs

@rubbermonkey76 Are you connecting the Xbox to the internet via a wireless connection? I switched out my wireless connection with a hard wire and the consistency got much better (still hard to get HD, but 4 bars almost all the time now).

For me, it has gotten better, but I'm not sure if its due to the fact I was almost never using it OR its just gotten better.

i have an issue with my 360 slim, iv had it for 6months and i decided to try netflix, the proble is its locking my whole system. i d/l netflix it lets me watch 1 show/movie then locks my system if i try to watch another, if i delete and re-d/l netflix i can once again watch 1 show/movie then locks up if i try for more. and when i say locks up i mean nothing works unless i shut off the 360 and restart it. so i get no dashboard or any other function till i shut off and restart the xbox.
