Ultra HD Video Could Put Cord Cutters in Bandwidth Squeeze, Says nScreenMedia

Many cord-cutting homes likely already are consuming at least half of their 1 TB bandwidth cap with normal TV watching, and even a modest amount of Ultra HD streaming may push them over it, nScreenMedia analyst Colin Dixon blogged Sunday. He said Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu don't give subscribers robust enough control of when they receive HD content that would let them control their bandwidth use. He said one simple option is to use a Roku, since users can go to a Roku's settings and set the video quality at either HD or below.
