excerpt:

"With providers like AT&T and Comcast adding on limits to how much bandwidth you can use per month, Netflix has rolled out a feature that lets you downgrade the streaming video quality so you don't use as much data and incur overages."

Thank you for this.  very interesting.  I have no cap, but still worth knowing!

Kudos to Netflix for considering the consumer in their decision. For what Comcast charges customers they should do away with these silly caps. Considering I spend almost $60 a month for internet service with speeds that are honestly an insult - I shouldnt have to sign a 2 yr agreement with absurd early termination fees, installation fees, caps, horrible customer service and loop holes that do nothing other than to penny pinch the consumer.
