I was reading about a similar problem on the dsl reports boards. It wazs suggested that Netflix may determine your "location" by what DNS server you are routed to them through, since they assume if you're using the DNS you were assigned via DHCP it…
I may have a solution for you. I had the same problem and also have AT&T DSL 6mb. I had no problems with streaming and then one day, I got your same symptoms. LONG buffer times, then works ok for a few minutes then goes to poor quality. Tried callin…

I would suggest that you go to speed test or another similar site and post your results. I have seen many similar posts and it usually turns out that the problem is the speed of the ISP. It may not be in your case, but needs to be considered.
