Roku: Comcast Limit Means Nothing (Lie)

by John Jorgensen on September 7, 2008

  • Roku just signed a deal with Netflix to stream movies through their $99 set-top box while keeping the same monthly price of a regular Netflix subscription.
  • Comcast has announced they will introduce a bandwidth limit in October, capping subscribers at 250GB per month.
  • Roku VP of consumer products says that Comcast’s impending cap is “unfortunate … but has no direct business impact on us.”
  • Roku’s choice of video quality it offers users will help them stay under the cap, but the mere knowledge of a limit will affect consumers’ decisions by causing them to cut back on bandwidth-heavy services.

Will Comcast’s cap affect your downloading/streaming habits?
