Allen, with all due respect, if youre downloading whole movies all the time, youre going to have to pay the data charges.

Im sorry folks, be reasonable...you want broadband type speed and huge data access and are pissed its going to cost more than $25/month? Standard in-home broadband runs around $50/month. But you think unlimitied MOBILE broadband should be cheaper? Come on....be fair.
 
wait, explain how 'a larger screen' will effect data usage. As far as I'm aware, an HD movie from netflix is the same bandwith on my tv as it is on my computer, unless they intelligently alter the resolution by receiving your screen resolution...

It's definitely possible for this to happen. The client app can easily get your resolution and pass it to the Netflix server when opening the connection. Not saying that they do this, but it definitely would not be a very difficult thing to accomplish.

Although, I do know that Netflix streaming does intelligently alter the bitrate of the stream depending on your download rate.
