On the surface switching providers seems like a good idea but there's no guarantee your "new" provider will be any different. The other issue is that most of us are locked into term contracts with early termination penalties. What Verizon is doing is very sneaky; they're not capping our bandwidth. If you do a speed test you'll see everyting looks fine. They're shaping Netflix's streaming bandwidth being delivered to us.
The result is that instead of a 1080P "SuperHD" stream, I'm getting resolutions as low as 288P. Display that on a 65" HDTV and it looks like a VHS copy of a copy.
As usual, the customer is stuck in the middle. Worse yet, they don't have the stones to fess up that they're screwing with the streams.
