Well bluerays are HUGE. Id say you would probably need somewhere around 8-10 megabytes per second to keep a bluray stream where it will never buffer.(it will be downloading faster then it playes).
Also if you say buy a 54mb/s connection from your ISP for example. this is NOT 54megabytes, its 54 megabites(both are mb -.-) anyway megabites/8=megabytes. so a 54mb/s connection is really a 6.75 megabyte per second. And that is the MAX speed. (the farther away from your ISP, the connection will diminish alittle bit) also if anyone else is using your bandwidth, it will also be lower.
And are you downloading 4.8-5.2 megabytes per second? or is at&t saying you have a 5mb/s connection?
And i dont have netflix, but usually with streaming media you can pause the media and let it buffer. and when it loads a decent amount you can click play. If you want to be able to stream bluerays instantly on demand with no buffering, id say shutdown any net usage from others, and try to get a 8megabyte per second connection or better(so 64 megabit from isp).
