What is your connection speed? My movies load in 10 to 20 seconds. Sometimes less.

As for picture quality, it looks absolutely great. I give a slight edge to my cable, but only slight. Keep in mind I'm watching on a SD TV.

I actually don't know.  I play online games without the slightest hitch and my 360 runs Netflix pretty quickly.  Maybe it's because the Wii is Wi-Fi and my other consoles are wired?  I was downloading videos/demos from the PSN and 360 at the time, too.  That may have hurt things.  I'll try it again this morning.

My Wii is on Wi-Fi as well, so I don't think that is the difference.  Downloading other things at the same time is definitely going to hurt streaming though.  I would try it without that and see how it runs.
