    WOW. That’s some serious data traffic…the bandwidth to handle something like that…wow.

    I’m definitely included in that 30% more often than not as my wife and I are always on Netflix. We’re rewatching each season of The Office (we’re into Season 5…) and have also finished the first season of Army Wives (surprisingly great).

    Anyways, we’re happy to have you on Livefyre! If you ever have any questions of feedback, please don’t hesitate to let us know!
