Dear Streaming Services,
Please make your services more amenable to slower networks. Believe it or not, there’s still a lot of customers out here in rural America. Cable and DSL networks only extend so far from town, leaving many of us to rely on our celluar service or pricy satellite services, both of which serve up high fees if we stray over our data limits.
I understand that many customers, probably even the majority of customers, demand high resolution graphics and crystal clear sound quality. But honestly, I’d just like to be able to watch a show without it taking twice as long as the time stamp because it has to buffer every five minutes. We know we’re not your core demographic and we accept that living out in the country means we sacrifice certain amenities. If that must include pixelated images and fuzzy sound, we’ll survive just to be able to watch a show or movie without having to cook a three course meal to keep ourselves occupied while it loads.
Sincerely,
A Country Bumpkin
