Based upon a discussion, it would appear the download speed for Netflix streaming and downloading are locked in to these new bitrate video plans (aka unlimited)
Netflix has a limited number of vids that can be downloaded, but for those downloaders, it would be a nice download feature to treat it as a download, assuming there was a technical way to separate the chaff (download) from the wheat (streaming).
As stated before, getting users on/off quickly decreases 'congestion,' imho.
FWIW, by going to
fast.com
one can evaluate your throttled Netflix video rate, if applicable.
I have no idea how this Video Data Extender functions now, for those on previous plans. I assume vid rates can be changed, if desired.
