Why DVD's have better packaging than Blu Ray?

as for your caps question what is OECD? and yes both caps and speed are major issues for the vast majority when it comes to streaming.

it's an intergovernmental organization of developed and democratic market economies.

I think it's the relevant market when discussing blu-rays and streaming as it doesn't include piracy-prone eastern european countries which cannot afford original blu-rays anyway, and russia and china which tend to have their own internet services, but includes japan, australia and NZ.
It mostly overlaps with Netflix's availability too.

I'm in Switzerland and I don't have a data cap, but we rarely push beyond 350GB monthly in the household, I think iptv traffic is excluded from the count though.

And if multiple people stream HD everyday? Also throw in a video game or two which are easily 50GB each now plus all the other normal stuff we do everyday. If you have a family with kids these caps aren't high enough.

I said most, not all, but it's the truth at least in my experience. In my experience, most (but not all) households using more than a TB per month are pirating to get there. Personally, I don't care about the pirating part but instead of unlimited usage, the companies should implement reasonably priced pay-per-use flex data plans.

BTW, for the record, we have two adults and two kids in the house.

Yes streaming doesn't look as good as a Blu-ray but it's so much more convenient. Streaming looks "good enough" to the average person. Plus not having to have tons of storage for everything.

I can use 150 in a week...

Last month we used 350GB...and that's with us being out of town for a week. And we have pretty lousy internet (12/1 DSL that's really more like 8/0.5). My youngest is a heavy streamer (YouTube on his phone all freaking day) and when my older teens are home, they are big Netflix watchers. If I streamed during the day (I work from home but don't stream), I could see us doubling that usage pretty easily.
