Netflix to cut streaming quality in Europe for 30 days

[sparkymark75]

ISPs have already said they have the capacity to cope.

Meh, I can't really notice the difference between 720p and 1080p anyway.

Psycho you often seem to swim against the tide of general opinion and I assume you actually take some sort of validation in that, reaffirming your belief in your own opinion, but sometimes it is an indication that some self reflection is required

He's a complete narcissist. Revels in the attention.

sensible decision but will probably be met with fury, upset and cries of 'oh my god i want a 50 thousand pound refund and netflix sub for life becuase of this'

You really need to think about the bigger picture here, this isn't a time for selfishness

Good god man do you have any idea what sort of strain their servers and the rest of the internet is gonna be under with pretty much all their subscribers self isolating at the same time? I'll be glad if it's just working

today netflix, next week your internet connection.

will you be happy when you are paying for 1gb or whatever but get limited to 50mb and your isp won't give a temp reduction on your bill?

If it allows society to function as a whole, then yes. And I work for an ISP / Telecoms company.

lol, yeah, it does make sense. I mean, I am sitting about 1m from my monitor and I really can't tell the difference when watching It's Always Sunny In Philidelphia.

When they start lowering the bitrate on the porn sites though...woah baby. Then I might have to get off my arse and start swiping on Tinder again to get some IRL action.

Maybe break some social distancing rules too while I'm at it.

 

[Puzzled]

I think if the internet goes down then that's it! Game over man! Game over!

Psychos raging in GD.

Sonny's foray into GD went well then.

Some perspective is needed here i feel!

I watch 720p in a 4K oled and whilst I can tell it isn’t 4K, I am not fuss at all. Anything 1080p I find good enough.

you should have gone to your local newsagents early and panic bought all their porn rags.
