I'm not trying to be rude here so don't take this the wrong way. If that's true then maybe you shouldn't be so adamant about Optik's picture quality all the time.
You eyesight might not be what it used to be, plus as you get older your ability to process information decreases. At 30 fps you just may not be able to distinguish the macro-blocking and softness.
Optik looks terrible compared to American HD cable.
That also explains not caring about the reduced caps. There are many new ways of using the internet for us young whippersnappers.
Off-site backups of important information. Sharing HD video of your children with your family who live elsewhere. And many, many more. Its pretty easy to burn through 250 GB these days.
