Netflix streaming quality is worse than Time Warner Cable's abhorrrent, notoriousy fucked up, compressed-as-hel PoS SD quality which alone is an incredible "achievement".
If you have a good connection Netflix streaming is good quality. The problem I've run into is that their software is very conservative in picking the quality of the stream and you can't force it to a better quality even if your connection is able to handle it.

Heavily compressed, standard definition video is far from 'good' quality. This isn't 1999 anymore, people. We've had this thing called high definition for over ten years. It's not something new. Get with the program. Anything less than 720p should be considered 'poor' quality. Anything less than 1080p should be considered 'medium' quality.
