So I'll keep my Titanic chairs you keep yours, you be happy, I will too. To each their own.
I use streaming and I have been getting discs from Netflix since 1999. So many great movies, especially older ones, are not available on streaming services, or if they are, often with great difficulty, because you either have to join a new streaming service or pay a fee. I also rent 4K discs and regular Blu-rays from here: https://www.store-3d-blurayrental.co...ory-s/1868.htm

Also, discs usually have more features and are easier to navigate through.

I often see added material when I stream certain shows/movies.

I'm assuming there is a number or the word unlimited that is supposed to be in front of "gigabit?"



I have 700 gigabit monthly service and I come very close to it during the winter (cold) months (not so during warmer months since I'm out and about more).


Next winter I might up to 1200 gb for six months, then back down. Primarily due to Amazon releasing more and more in 4K.

He's referring to speed (gigabit), not the amount of content you can access/stream/download (gigabyte).

No, he's talking about his speed, not his cap.
