A friend who has Comcast internet and Netflix service had to reload a Netflix movie THREE times last night. That never used to happen. My friend believes the slowdown is deliberate on Comcast's part, as every Netflix offered movie they watch now has to be reloaded at least once. Their movies used to play through all the way before.
