If I use Netflix, will it take up my Internet Time?

I use a laptop, and my friend pays for the Internt. And right now, he has to pay a certain amount of money if we go over a certain time limit. One way to speed up things is to play Video Games (main reason I have stopped playing video games for awhile). HE told me that watching movies on Netflix also speeds up our internet time. Is this true?

I have no idea where he got this info, and I am afraid I will not be able to watch movies.

    Streaming ANYTHING on a computer uses up internet time. It doesn't "speed up" things, it USES internet time. So yes, streaming movies on your computer from NetFlix does use up your precious internet time.
