Originally posted by Rusdude View PostYou can get two DSL connections? Does that require two different lines (e.g. phone numbers) or just two DSL accounts? I'm not with AT&T for DSL (better independent company) but have them for home phone.
Unfortunately my area can only get 1.5 mb and there is no cable service here either.

Originally posted by aaronwt View PostHow about both, speed and quality?
As I have said in previous posts, there is a "Huge" opportunity for someone to get rich by coming up with the next gen compression algorithm.
If you think it's not doable, just look at what has been done over the years with simple twisted copper wire used by the Telcos.
Data rates went from 300 baud to 57k. It seemed liked that was a ceiling data rate for a long time, but now you can get DSL at up to 8Mb rates with the exact same twisted pair of wire.
So we don't have to sit around and wait for major infrastructure upgrades to come up with a way squeeze more out of our existing wire.
I was hoping Redwein would take the lead in creating this killer compression routine. But I guess he's probably too busy to take on a garage home project.

NO caps. Truly unlimited bandwidth.
I usually download 800MB to 1.3TB each month.

Originally posted by elwaylite View PostWhen it comes to new releases, I dont really see where a wait matters.
When you rent from Netflix, you pick and wait. When a new release comes out you want to buy, you anticipate it then travel out and buy it. On top of that, most people just dont get a wild hair and watch new releases.
When a new HDX movie comes out, you pick when youd like to watch the movie and start your download accordingly.
This is not a big deal. Ill take quality over speed any day.

Originally posted by elwaylite View PostIt was a misunderstanding then. I took it that you preferred the one way only.
Yes, I think offering both HD and HDX is a brilliant idea. I hope to see them support both fully, which I think will give them stability and Id like to see them standing at the end of all this.
Im looking forward to Dec so I can finally try it out.No I definitely want there to be both and I was mostly justifying why pricing them the same made sense.

Do you lose 5 bucks when you use an ATM over a teller? Uh no.

Re: HDX Movies?!
Originally posted by redwein View PostI don't think I ever said Vudu should hamstring themselves. In fact I am quite happy that they provide the choice. Exactly how is that the fact that I, and many others, find tremendous value in the convenience that Vudu HD w/instant playback provides when compared with HDX is leading to their demise. That just seems silly. I believe it is their plan to do both and it would be a big mistake to drop instant play to provide an HDX only solution, which seems to be what you are proposing.
BTW, I am not trying to say that you are wrong to want what you want either. I am just trying to understand (if I understand you correctly) why you would have Vudu move more forcefully in your direction at the expense of what others clearly want.
