Why would anyone use Comcast for mobile is beyond me. Not saying the others are much better, but at least you wouldn’t be helping Comshit earn even more money.

They say we can't tell the difference in quality of 420p, yet they sell us 4k displays.. I can't with this logic.

I just got a new Samsung tv and while setting up the Netflix app I was prompted to pay an additional for HD stream.

How can they do this if video is served over an encrypted connection they’re not in direct control of?<p>Do they just limit throughput to a bit rate that would be likely to cause a streaming service to drop to 480p?
