Gen5 SmartBrowsing?

Does Gen5 have SmartBrowsing like Gen4 did, or are the new, higher FAP speeds taking the place of "SmartBrowsing"?

but if one's using SB and wants to stream Netflix, eventually one goes into regular FAP, right?  (ETA: I sense this might be another SQOTD*)

    Stupid question of the day: the tokens we have purchased transfer to Gen5 like they did from Gen3 to Gen4, correct?

      From what I've read, yes.  

       

      With that said, larrykelly had an issue with them not transferring, but he called and they replaced them.

    Yep.  But, with Gen5, that doesn't appear to be the case.  The FAP speed may be enough to stream in lower def.

        "With that said, larrykelly had an issue with them not transferring, but he called and they replaced them."

         

        I'd do that too -- I've amassed 25 gigs worth of tokens. I wouldn't want to lose them!
