Actually... we live out in the country. Our Internet is supposed to give us 3 mbps but we only get 1 to 1.5
We are able to stream both Netflix and Amazon. Sometimes it is very slow but mostly we are able to watch movies and shows with no problems.
We have Direct TV with a DVR. We can pause and record shows. We don't have enough bandwidth to start a program from the beginning.
We moved here from Austin where they now have AT&t and Google fiber...it was a big adjustment for us in the beginning but now we have no traffic!
