If you are using a wireless connection, try a cabled connection to the computer -- that is the only time I have had issues with Netflix buffering -- it was on my end. Another thing that would help it to adjust your settings to a lowered bandwidth -- not 1080p HD. In smaller resolutions I don't see that much difference. I have to pay extra for over 250GB a month at ridiculous ISP rates :P

Netflix is the poster boy for net neutrality: Netflix and other video entertainment apps are using 40+% of the Internet's bandwidth. I have Nerflix grandfathered in at $7.99 a month. Netflix is a great value for me but I have limited usage -- 1 - 3 hours a day.

If you look at this compared to the cable television prices you can see the cable TV profits at risk. A Vice President at MCI said to me in the late 1970's that: ''Microwave is like pussy -- you can sell it forever and never wear it out''. Substitute Internet bandwidth for microwave as it is the same thing -- selling air (or arranged io electrons). Building out and maintaining hardware infrastructure is the only hard cost here. ISP's customer call support centers in India are cheap :P

Net neutrality is a real issue to smaller users like us -- people that do under 100TB bandwidth transfer a day. Companies like Google, Facebook, Youtube, Netflix (to name a few) don't really need any subsidy and can afford to pay for higher tier bandwidth -- only if it can be justified by real cost factors and not the loss of profits to ISP's competing entertainment product or the ISP's cable TV profits. That would be an Anti-Trust issue under the Sherman Anti-Trust Act in the USA.
