They probably drank it anyways...

I think this will help 4k streams more than anything else as it allows more people to start streaming that content since most people have little bandwidth as it is.

I'm on it (after 12 months of using wireless dongles because it's a new complex and no adsl) and loving it. However it's not that much faster unless you pay extra for a speed boost which is rubbish imo. it's like they slow down your internet and then you have to pay to unlock it.

I don't use Netflix because I'm on a 100gb plan so it's cheap. I PLEX my library to my lounge/bedroom tv and the only benefit of Netflix would be 4k content.

In saying that - my TV's can't see the difference as they're 1080. Still any reduction in size could sway me to look at Netflix again but until they release all their content over here it's no good. Everything decent was locked in to licencing contracts for pay tv.

edit - or I could VPN and get a US account but CBF TBH

Lol I cant believe I juat thought of this but.

Come back to the dark side (if you catch the terrible humor)

Then again I havent actually watched any of the star wars series unless of course you count Family Guy.

Those speeds though. I still stuck in ADSL2 with telstra barely 1MB/s most of the time. 2MB/s tops if at a good time. Paying $150 a month. Though I do get 1TB now. Still better than most I guess.
