For very long time we had been suffering horrible, horrible image quality with Netflix streaming.
The quality was comparable to a fifth generation VHS copy, and even that was apparently too good for us, because it would often stop and reset, then stumble again.
Several calls to the company produced a stream of lies. The problem was with my Internet provider, they said... even though I know I have very high speed connection.
It is my "old" Roku box, they said next time... "I can see it here" the operator assured me - "your box is limiting the transmission"!
When asked why would the same box work FLAWLESSLY with Amazon, they would mumble something like "Oh, but they do it differently!" As if I cared!
It was clear that their server simply could not keep pace with the demand, but it truly bugged me that they would never admit this simple fact.
When the story about their cooperation with Comcast hit the waves, it all made sense, and their assurances of better quality in the near future sounded, finally, assuring.
And then it happened... I would say "apparently", as I don't want to jinx it.
For the last couple months we have been enjoying stable HD quality, with quick downloads. Suddenly my "old" Roku box is not limiting anything any longer!
