If they still offer the ability to download, then I would imagine they would cost the same.

Anywhere from 300-560msp usually.

500 Microsoft points costs  £4.25 = $7

It might be cheaper in America. It would definetly be cheaper if you used the Netflix offering in America.

i think its 540 points for hd rental at the mo, so mabey they could price this the same.

its £17.50 for a 2100 points card so 540 would roughly equate to around £4 for a 1080p hd rental.

not to bad if you just want to watch a quick movie once. if its a movie you wanted to watch again the value of it drops down well low.

gimme gimme moahhh, gimme mahh

And there we have it, the idea behind a rental plan summed up in one sentence.

Here is a copy of my speedtest:

Why then is it running at 350k for me? It worked better at work on my shit BB this morning!

You did something rong. With that speed it should stream with a 2500kbps or even higher bitrate.

My connection is a 2Mbit currently shared by my brother watching YouTube, and still the movie was shown steadily switching between 1100 and 1300kpbs

How can I go wrong when I just click play?

It may be because I'm on Windows 7 with ie8?

Did anyone else notice it's almost instant skipping backwards and forwards along the timeline?

Im not sure how much the jump will be, but wount it look wierd if you go from 1080 HD and your connection drops and you all of a sudden have to settle for a lesser quality? Im still not sure i get how this is going, so i might be way off. Just correct me if so.

Just because you are hitting one server with a fast connection, does not mean that you are hitting every server with a fast connection. There are too many variables at work to say that.
