Netflix streaming problems

Hey everyone, new to the community! Hopefully someone out there can help me with this. Since I have updated my galaxy tab 2 to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 (not the full 4.2 for some reason) Netflix streaming no longer works. Netflix thinks it is either a device problem or my internet signal isn't strong enough (that sounds like a load of crap). Samsung thinks its a netflix problem since all other apps work fine, especially youtube. This is what I have tried: restart device, power cycle router, factory reset device, download third party older version of netflix (1.7), download netflix through amazon app store, lower video quality preference via netflix website. None of these worked. Any suggestions?

Having this issue for last couple of days on GS3 on Sprint while on Wifi. Some videos on Netflix work, while others do not. No idea.

Figured it out, for anyone else having this issue: internet speed. I had 1.5 mps (which is considered pretty slow now, but it was mid range when I first got it). While a laptop or pc can adjust video quality to match your internet speed, it seems the updated mobile app has a minimum speed requirement. I am upgrading to 7 mps, should be fine,
