Reduce quality in Netflix for iPhone?

My 3G can't seem to handle Netflix streaming; it stops to buffer constantly.

The quality seems to be way too high -- it seems to be trying to do HD, without the connection for it.

Is there a way to lower the quality, down to maybe YouTube-level, so I can actually stream anything?

Yes, Since a lot of providers have bandwidth caps, Netflix has put in a downgrade quality option to manage video quality.

Login to netflix first, then go to https://account.netflix.com/HdToggle

Select from

• Good Quality. up to 0.3 GB per hour.
• Better Quality. Up to 0.7 GB per hour.
• Best Quality. Up to 1 GB per hour, or 2.3 GB per hour for HD.
