CBC Article on Netflix:

Super HD requires a constant internet connection of at least six megabits per second, which means it will ultimately use up about 2.7 gigabytes of data per hour.

Netflix has been vocal about the low caps, with chief content officer Ted Sarandos last year saying, “It’s almost a human rights violation what they’re charging for internet access in Canada.”

“We would love for Canadians to be unshackled of their bandwidth caps and stream as much as they want and have unlimited internet access,” he said. “Netflix is a killer app for broadband and because people want it, ISPs will sell larger packages to people and faster speeds. We drive a lot of demand for ISPs and we think they like that.”

Despite the obstacles it is facing, Netflix still manages to resonate with Canadians. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission last year estimated that about 10 per cent of adults subscribed to the service since its launch in 2010. Analysts believe that number is actually double.

Halifax, in particular, is a Netflix stronghold, with 40 per cent of households subscribing, Evers said.
