If they commit to providing suitable bandwidth for services such as Netflix and YouTube, I'm not sure how opposed I am to paying for bandwidth.
Estimates are that Netflix movies are 1GB/hr- or $0.20/hr at the Comcast rate. Not super cheap.
- beauzero 13y agoWe run into this a lot around the 8-9pm hour. Netflix on xbox seems to be the exception though. Everything else slows down equally (Bluray, phones, ipad, etc.)...not noticeable on anything other than the bluray player though but network stats definitely show it.
- vaporeyes 13y agoI notice this very same thing in my area. The mornings on workdays are considerably faster than evenings on the same days. I notice this when downloading ISOs for operating systems especially. I usually try and save my downloading of these things for morning so that it completes in 10 minutes vs 50 minutes.
- CountHackulus 13y agoNetflix should be fine, they've already implemented Canada mode, where they stream super-low bandwidth versions. Because while 300GB may seem small for you, in Canada we have to deal with bullshit like 80GB caps on 35Mbps internet for $70/month. It's worse than the third world for internet here in Canada. I'd say that you should be grateful for 300GB caps, but honestly, I think all caps should be abolished.
