Yeah, I am wondering if the Xbox One app just isn't updated to accept the SuperHD or something. My Smart TV gets SuperHD and I am 100% certain the Xbox One is far more powerful than it.

Dunno about that...people say comcast does but I pull way over 10Mbps from them
I read somewhere...think it was on dslreports or something about poor netflix performance and people said it was because netflix was trying to get comcast to go with a plan that allowed netflix to host servers on Comcast infrastructure for free to provide better service to comcast customers.
Comcast said no way because it is your responsibility, not theirs, to provide the required bandwidth at peering points from your partners.
Comcast isn't outright throttling the data. The claims are that Comcast isn't increasing the bandwidth (number of physical connections) at certain peering junctions with the CDNs that Netflix uses.
Yes, it's called Netflix Open Connect, which is actually more of a Netflix cache server.
No, Comcast refused because that is a solution that doesn't provide their business any benefit. Comcast is trying to extort money through content providers because they know that the content providers are nothing without the ISP subscribers, but even though Netflix is a huge part of the Internet's downstream traffic, users will most likely still keep their Internet for other things.
Honestly, the idea of a 1:1 peering ratio is just silly. Peering is an artifact from the early Internet days, but how do you expect to have a proper peering ratio when you're comparing a CDN (content DELIVERY network) to an ISP, which is far heavy on the consumption side!?
Open connect is dead...Netflix is paying Comcast for direct peering now as of Feb 24 2014.
It is netflix's responsibility alone to make sure subscribers have adequate access to their content. It should not fall on the ISP to make sure people can get superhd from Netflix. They sell the bandwidth and if the network that Netflix is using can't handle it why is it considered the ISP's fault? Wouldn't that be like saying you buy a car that can do 180mph and blaming the manufacturer when the speed limit is 75mph on the highway? It can do it but is limited by other factors.

I wonder what kind of performance dx12 will bring
Hmm I didn't think that DirectX 12 applied to the X1, because the DirectX 12 has a lot of X1 improvements folded into it. So, maybe that means that DX12 will create more similarities between the two, and that will be helpful. Although, that might just be a bunch of hearsay!
No it isn't. There are ISPs that are actually willing to play ball and use Open Connect.
What!? No it isn't! Netflix does their duty by paying whatever their CDNs charge for delivery! It's the duty of the Content Delivery Network (CDN) to ensure proper delivery of the content through their network.
Then what the hell am I paying Comcast for? I'm paying them for proper access to the Internet, and they're refusing to upgrade their hardware so they can wring money out of Netflix.
I think of it like Netflix is a newspaper company. They then pay companies like Cogent and Level3 to deliver their newspapers. The curmudgeons known as Comcast are mad because Cogent and Level3 are sending a lot of delivery trucks through their monopolistic neighborhoods. Although, a more physical example actually holds more merit because you could argue road degradation, but even then... the onus is on the delivery vehicles.
However, the fact of the matter is, Comcast provides the users, and Cogent/Level3 provide the (Netflix) data that comprises 30% of the Internet's downstream traffic. This is apparently what Comcast's users want, but Comcast doesn't want that; Comcast is a business which exists for one reason: to make money. Comcast can legally hold off until Netflix or a CDN offers to pay them more money, and there's not a damn thing anyone can do about it. Sure, you could try to stick it to the man and cancel your Internet in a huff, but then you're without Internet, which does have more uses than watching Orange is the New Black or crazy cat videos on YouTube. It's not like most areas have more than one choice for an ISP.
Honestly, the whole Internet provider situation in the US is a huge mess. I'm quite interested to see if municipal setups will help whip the money-mongering ISPs into shape.
did i click on the wrong thread? i coulda sworn i clicked on the xbox one thread.
Lol yeah...the original question was about superHD on XB1...nothing to prevent it except the app itself.
It might not even be an intention prevention either, just that they haven't gotten around to update it yet.
It is kind of silly people are arguing over this deal. It is basically the cost everyone cried about (matching the PS4) and a discounted price for Titanfall. yet, that isn't good enough. Always gotta be us or them mentality.
