I'm in a hotel now, connecting through hotel wifi. I watched a Netflix show and now I'm watching another show on Hulu. I notice that Netflix streamed fine. Hulu is shown at a lower resolution, and still stuttered a lot. I reduced the quality, and paused and let the buffer build up a couple of times. That mostly took care of the stuttering during the show, but not during the commercials. Of course if there is going to be any stuttering I'd want it in the comercials (which I could just as soon do without), but you would think they would want the comericals to be smooth since they make money from them. The commercials are extremly jerky. If the show was that bad I'd call it unwatchable and give up. It seems Netflix marginal connections better, at least this marginal connection.
