If you've changed or updated your Netflix playback settings, but the video quality is still terrible, you're likely experiencing data connection issues. To run Netflix, you need at least 5mbps. We suggest running a speed test to see how fast your internet connection is. Even an intermittent connection can cause problems with playback quality.Another thing you can try is switching between cellular data and Wi-Fi if you can. If the problem persists despite your internet connection, you can contact Netflix's support team, try updating the app or restarting your device.\" } }, \"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What internet speeds do I need to run 4K content?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": \"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Netflix has various recommendations for streaming quality.

Mobile 720p Movies
One of the ways Netflix is helping change how people consume media is by making it easy to watch a higher-quality video. High-definition video has become the standard since the mid-2000s, but with 4K and Ultra-HD content, our favorite shows and movies are only getting sharper.
There is an option to enable or disable auto-play within Netflix; the main portion of the display is taken up by options to control the resolution your favorite Netflix Originals and movies will play back with.
For those who want to have their video quality always be as high as possible, select the High option. This streams in either 720p/1080p or 4K Ultra-HD, depending on your plan, and consumes a fair amount of data per hour (3 GB per hour of streaming for 1080p video, 7 GB per hour for 4K video).
Step 2. Select the Video Quality option and then select either 360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p or Auto for the video resolution.
Changes to data settings on your mobile apply when that device is streaming over mobile networks. To choose the setting that works best for your mobile data plan, Netflix advises taking the following steps:
Imagine you just signed up for Netflix to catch the latest blockbuster movies and series. You can't wait to watch the latest releases ranging from Bird Box to Apostle and Triple Frontier. You start streaming the Vietnam War drama Full Metal Jacket while your sister in the other room is streaming a romantic comedy Crazy Stupid Love on her iPhone. Suddenly you receive a notification that you are running out of data.
One cool thing about Netflix is that you don't have to always stream your movies and shows. You can download content and view it later when offline. This saves you a huge chunk of data. The download option and view later is available on both Android and iOS Netflix apps. However, this feature is not without a catch. You can only download specific content including but not limited to Orange is the New Black, To Kill a Mocking Bird and Stranger Things. The good thing is that downloadable content is a mix of contemporary and classic films in different genres. If you can't get enough of the series Scandal or Jane the virgin, just download it and you can re-watch it ten times.
In the current digital age, prolific media streaming is the order of the day. Netflix is leading the pack by offering numerous movies and series that you can stream and download. Unfortunately, the current age also comes with capped data packages for home internet users. This makes it necessary to know how much data Netflix uses when streaming movies and TV shows.
How can I tell if a title is available to purchase or just available for rent?On the Xfinity On Demand menu on your TV, titles that you can purchase will have a description that begins with the word Buy. In the list view of titles, these shows and movies will have the word Buy next to the title.
If I am currently an Xfinity TV customer and move, but transfer my Xfinity TV service to my new address, can I continue to access my purchases?Xfinity TV customers who move but transfer Xfinity TV service to their new address can continue to access their purchases on their Xfinity TV Box through Xfinity On Demand and their favorite devices. Once you've completed the move/transfer process (online or by speaking to a Move Specialist), the movies and TV shows that you purchased through Xfinity should automatically be transferred to your new address.
How many streams and downloads of Xfinity purchased content can I access?Up to three different devices (such as computers, mobile phones or tablets) can stream your purchased titles or can download purchased movies and TV shows at any given time. A maximum of three devices can be registered to your account at once.
How do I prevent people in my household from purchasing or renting shows or movies?Set a Purchase PIN to prevent household members from making purchases or rentals. Learn more by reading instructions on setting up a purchase PIN on your X1 TV Box or non-X1 TV Box. 076b4e4f54
