Ohh we see that now as well. Customer with a 6 meg package calls in, "Yea the
net is slow I'm not getting my bandwidth" I go look at they have a constant
traffic stream of 5.8 meg day in and day out for months. I ask, do you have
young kids at home? "yup, but all they are doing is watching netflix cartoons,
and my wife just watch's stuff on her ipad shouldn't use that much bandwidth."
What will it take to teach customers that its not 6 meg PER DEVICE.. lol

I’m not so worried about 4K as I am that this will be the year we get hit
with the transition from one Netflix stream to everybody in the house streaming
video at the same time and people don’t understand why they used to be able to
stream video and now they can’t. I’m already seeing it.
I love the people who swear they don’t stream video at all, just Youtube and
Facetime and on-demand on the satellite TV and some video on the Xbox and the
new smart TV and a couple Rokus and some Facebook videos on the iPad, but no
streaming going on here.

This is going to make for an ugly christmas season.
If we had customer service who was firm it wouldnt be an issue "we dont offer
that speed currently"
but instead, the customers on 900 will be the ones who get the tv, and the
subscription and call in, and CS will keep saying, well isnt there anything we
can do for this guy in the middle of the forrest with the 300 foot cable run?
and Ill have to go home and punch one of my children, probably the boy, Im kind
of afraid of the girl.

I'd think if someone could figure out a way to get the movies from RAM,
they could also figure out a way to capture them from a stream.

It's a licensing issue... that's why "streaming" is OK.

That 187MB translates to only about 11.25 GB per hour. Why not stick
in a 32GB memory and be done? That would be almost 3 hours of buffer.

It's really too bad that the devices that support all these streaming
services can't have a larger buffer. I'm sure it's part of their licensing
deals, but if they could buffer 60 seconds of stream (at any quality), they
would have much fewer support calls for streaming issues, etc.
Using Netflix's 25Mbps for 4k, that works out to 187.5MB of storage
space. At current RAM prices, you can buy a 256MB module for $15 full retail...
so places like Samsung can probably buy them in quantity for less than $2.
Seems like it would be worth it to pay an extra $10 for a TV/DVD/PS4/Wii-U
device that could handle 60 seconds of video.

That’s pretty cool.
You can do 4k direct from Youtube.
Several of the ones I’ve tested are sustained around 20-30Mbps.
But on my network it tends to burst to 90Mbps then sit around for a
while, then burst back to 90Mbps.
I think the 4k will require a lot of optimizations before it works
on the built in TV’s.
