I think that should read "Netflix' low-quality DVD resolution stream needs 3Mbps, and its low-quality HD resolution stream around 5Mbps."
Very true. Netflick also hickups on me with certain shows, especially Futurama. So I would go to speedtest.net and I'm getting plenty of bandwidth so I don't understand that part (other shows are just fine.)
Oakdale, the issue of service quality given to those wireless providers and the need for services such as T-Mobile's Binge-On are ones that will be resolved once the infrastructure catches up with all that's possible through the internet. The way technology moves, services such as Netflix will be just the beginning. The service providers that survive will be the ones that can build out the infrastructure, and it will will market forces not the government that kills the rest. In a couple decades people will say "Back in 2016, providers thought they could throttle bandwidth and direct folks only to certain content ?!? LOL"
