  At maximum quality, which the server defaults to, Netflix streams at
4.8Mbps, which would lead to 2.1 gigs per hour of streamed content.
I'm not sure where the 'bottom' is, the 4.8 is the starting point for
'max quality', and they downshift based on how much data they can
actually get to you fast.
