when we've had netflix (off and on a couple months at a time, last was about a year and a half ago), we often encountered 540p max playback on "hd" titles that should have (legitimately) been streaming at 1080p; and we rarely were able to use all the simultaneous connections of the plan (usually only limit-1)

When it's like that I'm happy we only have the cheapest netflix, and then 🏴‍☠️ when they eventually remove what you were watching.

They even removed One Punch Man 🙄

I'm still on the old cheapest 720p plan that they no longer offer (waiting to see if they jack the price up or silently move us to a different plan). I stream on too many devices that would require way too much fuckery to get a higher resolution anyways plus we've really only encountered the number of screens limit once
