We cap Netflix so we get "low def" transmission which goes through our Blu-Ray player which upscales the video the same way it would for an old movie on a DVD. At this setting we use about 225MB to watch a TV program as they tend to be 42 minutes when you remove all the commercials that we now have to scan through (thank you Ronald Reagan).
We cannot use Amazon as their lowest setting is still about 1.2GB an hour and the extra data is not being used on our 52" screen. We so difference in image quality at the higher band rate.
Where we live even DSL is not available so we use Millenicom and pay $70 a month for 20GB of data.
If we are at a hotel or park with free Wifi we stream to a netbook that is connected to the TV with an HDMI cable and stream Netflix videos with no problems. Beats having to watch the Dish or Directtv very limited offerings and having to watch all the commercials on the network channels.
