[BC] Netflix bandwidth requirements?

[Edwin Bukont]

Trying to cut the cord on Comcast Cable TV.  Between TV and Internet, its $145/mo which is just nuts.  Most of what we watch isnt the local TV anyhow, that one should not have to pay for since its OTA, yet news often tends to be more timely on the phone or Internet anyway, except on weekends.
 
If we get rid of 'cable' TV, we could keep the Internet and use Netflix.  The question then is,,does anyone know the typical BW requirements for movies on NetFlix?  Don't want to hit that 250GB/mo limit on downloading and pay more! 
 
What has been the experience of the braintrust using Netflix and VoIP phones via satellite?  Looking at that as an alternative also.
 
Thanks
