It seems Unotelly SA is having problems. I tried the JHB and Cape Town DNS servers. Other users have reported the same. I have now configured the UK DNS address on my router and Netflix is working fine again!

So wait. You can have primary and secondary dns in SA? I thought primary had to be SA and secondary intl?
Could this influence torrent speeds as well?
Both Hulu and Netflix are "accessible" to me.
I'm using a primary of JHB and secondary of Afrihost DNS I think.
I say they're "accessible", since the highest resolution Netflix has gotten to over the last few days has been 384.
Hulu, which is almost infallible even when Netflix quality is $hitty, is now unusable.
However, streaming from YouTube directly from my PS3 suffers zero buffering.
Repeated speed tests done (while suffering terrible Netflix and Hulu speeds) averaged at 8.3Mbps, latency 17ms.
This points to an issue on UnoTelly's side, since we do not have a direct connection to Netflix and Hulu.
You with Telkom Internet?
Try to manually change (until it is resolved) the bitrate by pressing "CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+S" while in normal viewing mode (don't go fullscreen) when a video is playing. Tick the box manual selection and your desired quality.
The 384 issue has been like that most of January but hopefully is fixed soon.
