I don't get how 10mb/s is so much more complicated than 100mb/10s.



In the particular case of something like Netflix, starting an HD stream then stalling and re buffering an SD stream might be a shittier user experience. How much data does Netflix download to measure bandwidth and for how long?


I assume they load a large buffer, adjusting bit rate to keep it full.

But I don't see the topical connection with throttling people to use a certain amount of data each 10s.
