For you.
I've watched hundreds of Netflix streams from 4 different states and a dozen internet connections over the last year and I can count the number of freezes on one hand.

Given that you have had a problem with both services, do you think the problem is perhaps with your computer/internet connection? I rarely have a buffering problem on Netflix and have never had the audio and video go out of sync.
Amazon's pay per view streaming rental has consistently been all but perfect play.

Youtube/Google's streaming rental quality is good, even great, except three out of the four movies I tried suddenly stopped and reported elapsed time as that the entire movie had suddenly been watched. Movie had to be started over, virtually ruining the experience. They did refund the rental fee without question.
