I have an unlimited data plan but because I have to buy a new TV I've been streaming a lot .
The high speed streaming is up to 50GBs and after that it slows down depending on how much bandwidth is being used at the time. I now pay and get extra channels I normally don't get bc I've only had Broadcast TV - w CBS All Access, Hulu, etc

Anyway, the amount of buffering every few seconds to a minute or so was too frustrating for me - even in the hopes of him doing something awfully stupid etc to continue watching.
