Will the 500 mb plan allow me to watch netflix?

Depends on the size of the video. However, most one hour long videos go from 700 megabyte to even more than 1000 megabytes. With that being said, you might be able to watch a 'short' (which has smaller file sizes), but the short answer is, no. You won't be able to watch most of the videos.

I doubt it. 500 mb would go to fast. I have a 5G plan and burn through it without ever watching a single video.

I would think you'd eat up that small amount of data. I use it for small bursts of work when I'm away from home or a good WiFi connection. It's good and fast, but its 500MB

None. You have to purchase a data plan. $15 for 250 MB, $60 for 30 GB, and $90 for 10 GB

this device will not offer a wifi speed as fast as your router. my test is 5-10 Mb, which is definitely OK for Netflix.

The answer is NO, not on this model. This model came out before Netflix offered 4K with the latest HEVC h.265 codec (compressed video stream).

Yes, the 500MB per month plan is totally free. You'll have to be careful to monitor your usage so that you don't go over that limit otherwise you may incur charges to continue your service beyond the 500MB limit. If this draw for buying this modem is the free service part then it makes the most sense as a supplemental internet service that you use once in a while on the road.

Yes as long as you have access to WiFi. MY Daughter loves Netflix on it too! I love it!

With analog TV is ok. Netflix, only suscribe credit card before to play app

Yes it does get Netflix. You would download the Netflix app from the play store and log into your Netflix account

Actually, NO! You need at least 1.5 mbit/sec to download Netflix and other streaming movies to watch. Should you have your own ethernet network, wired or wireless, you can view movies stored on your PC providing the PC has at least win7 or 8 (or in the future, win9, win10, etc.).

Yes. Some of the HD on Netflix isn't available on computers though, because of lame licenses with the studios. So you'll get more HD content if you use a Roku or BluRay player for Netflix.

Jim, could you send me a link to where you read this information? I checked Sony's website and could not find anything mentioning netflix streaming on this device. Thanks -

From experience with it, I would not get it. It's very archaic and obsolete. The apps freeze a lot and the Netflix app doesn't function properly. You're better off getting either a Roku or a Blu-Ray player that has app functionality which most do that are wifi

No. It doesn't... yet. Could be software update to support it later. It does have Netflix.

The LG BD530 has a linux operation system. For those familiar with Linux, Netflix does not currently have linux support. Therefore the player by default, cannot support Netflix. I suppose for those who are technically advanced there could be a way to run a virtual machine on this device, but don't hold your breath on this. Any attempts to do so would surely void your warranty and could brick your machine.

It says it will. It says it will do many things. So do the Indian tech reps. You could try. If you can get Netflix on it, please? Let me know how the hell you did it?

The switch will support 100Mbit speeds, so HD streams will not be a problem and I use my switch to stream netflix at HD resolution

I doubt it. It will not stream Netflix. I gave up on the device and no longer use it. I would not recommend it to anyone.
