> I don't want to be a bummer, but video streaming might stress the hell out of the internet infrastructure. At some point, transmitting video online, on a large scale, at a good resolution, at peak hours, is going to be expensive. This is really frustrating, since Netflix is usually not served over the internet, but directly from the ISP's head end. Netflix usage largely has no major impact on the world wide internet. https://openconnect.netflix.com/en/ https://openconnect.netflix.com/en/ https://gizmodo.com/this-box-can-hold-an-entire-netflix-1592590450 https://gizmodo.com/this-box-can-hold-an-entire-netflix-1592... ISPs don't even have to serve you internet access for Netflix videos. Netflix already hand delivers the data to your town and then pays cash to Verizon and Comcast to serve their already-on-local-network videos to you. That's all on top of the money you are already paying the ISPs to receive that exact same traffic. All ISPs really do for Netflix is take traffic from a private local field office to your home. Frustratingly, they are often too cheap and lazy to even manage that.
