On the one hand, our streaming bit rate here in Exceptional Land is pretty piss poor so an increase would be welcome. On the other hand, this is really just a way to get more money out of the customer. It will introduce a tiered system of rates based on bandwidth and that will eventually lead to a cable TV type system of paid access to packages of sites. You want Netflix? Okay, that's in our Hollywood Package. You get Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, VUDU, Blockbuster, Crackle and 100 music channels, all for $99.99 a month!
