They require at least 2Gbps of Netflix traffic across your network at all time and require you connect the box to a 10Gbps port to our network. I really doubt there are many WISP's out there running this much Netflix traffic at one time. A few but nowhere near the majority. Also, for many of us, this probably isn't the problem of running out of internet transit but rather having AP's at capacity for which this would not solve at all.
