said by DarkLogix:my mention of the Roku was in responce to the foolish claim that a family would be gathered around a computer screen
in the real world families already have Roku's and Xboxes and most kids know how to use them
there is no normal it just doesn't exist
and if netflix hadn't set the default to low quality then way more people would be over the cap
Ive been in MANY MANY MANY wired homes. In fairness during work and cable related but I can speak to what I see as far as what is wired and how. What the capability of a family is and what they would be willing to do.
That just aint it.
I know people have ROKU and stream through XBOX, Hell, I stream Netflix through XBOX, IPOD and KINDLE.. But again, not for 8 hours straight, not on all at once all day.. heck, not even everyday.
There is "normal". Its average.
This small microcosm of tech minded forum members is NOT a slice of Americana and what one would expect to find or make up a subscriber base.
Tell me with certainty what the percentage of subscribers is that go over or are even CLOSE to the cap? The number isnt even worth the time spent in this thread.
The argument to that is "Oh.. if they KNEW they could stream HIGHER QUALITY then they would ALL be over the cap!!!" Its really reaching at straws to justify a point.. that doesnt really exist.
