Have been a Netflix user for years. Use their on demand feature via the box, as well as watch a few streaming movies via the computer/monitor, as well as a computer hooked up via a Panasonic AE900? projector. The computer viewing via the monitor is fine. And, via the projector, it works. Not as clear, but that could be the computer it is going through, as it is decent but not top of the line specs for movie viewing.
Get decent speeds via cable modem, and not much in the way of drops. Overall, have been happy, as this was a bonus feature.

I have cable with high download speed and I stream to my laptop on a regular basis. pretty good quality for a computer screen. Worth every penny. I only rent a few Blu-Rays from them and spend much time watching online.
The difference for this Mac user came when Netflix changed to MS Silverlight for downloads. I've criticised MS in the past, but Silverlight is an excellent product that just works.

Their available selection for streaming movies is pretty limited. It's getting better (so they say), but 99.8% of the titles I search for are not available for instant play.Never Argue With An idiot. They'll Lower You To Their Level And Then Beat You With Experience!

Different devices have different upscaling quality. So video quality may vary depending on which one you use for viewing.Wes Miaw, Neko Audio LLC

Lately, we've been using it to watch stand up comedy. We watch on the computer or in the theater using a wireless Roku. When going through the Roku, the bitrate is higher than setting up via your browser and then throwing the signal to the projector (I have a Panny AE700U). I believe the higher bitrate is 2Mb/sec so your 4.5 connection will be fine.
