If Netflix, best to set to low definition as explained here: Netflix Playback Setting
If YouTube, as soon as video starts use the gear icon to change definition to 360p or 244p, do not leave on auto or higher resolution. The 244p setting should look fine on smaller devices.
If any other streaming site, do not use if there is no adjustment for video definition that at least allows 360p or lower.
That's your guys solution for the customer tell them to settle for lower quality videos. I don't know if his/her service is like mine but I can't even get netflix to load even when I have Data to burn.
Come on though what's wrong with you people, that is your solution lower the quality? Would you buy a steak at a fancy restaurant for 20 bucks and be ok with getting a mcdouble from mcdonalds instead? No, you wouldn't, you would be upset and you would never go back to that restaurant again.

It's a capped service. There's only so much data. That solution saves data, but you can always continue to buy more data and watch HD as much as you want.
" Would you buy a steak at a fancy restaurant for 20 bucks and be ok with getting a mcdouble from mcdonalds instead? No, you wouldn't, you would be upset and you would never go back to that restaurant again."
Would you ask for a filet mignon at McDonald's? Most reasonable people would not, because they would know that's not how McDonald's works.
"you would never go back to that restaurant again."
That's your choice as a consumer. You can always drop the service, and if you're still under contract, you can pay the fee to break it and you can then walk away and find another ISP.

It is a capped service and always will be. You can stream in HD but then will use up all your data with just a few shows. Satellite internet is not steak, it doesn't claim to be. As said before, it is for us folks with no other viable options.
Once the new staellite is online there will be major improvement for many customers especially those with the old HN9000 modem who choose to upgrade.
