Streaming experience....

Streaming video on a data capped service reminds me of a Bugatti Veyron. The thing will go 253 miles per hour but will burn its entire 26 gallon fuel load in only 19 minutes.

Have to disagree. We do just fine especially since we have the Ultra plan. No problem with Netflix on low definition and looks fine to us. We really enjoy a lot of the original shows they put out.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion though. Not forcing anyone to stream, simply saying it can be done and not go through all of monthly data in the process. In fact I believe we had around 20 GB left at the end of last cycle. But yes, 8 hours a day for 30 days is not going to work.
