"But internet streaming and down lading is the way to go."

Due to this, internet companies are starting to put monthly caps on bandwidth and charging overage fees.

I love my Netflix on Roku, but I'm not upgrading to the HD Roku because of this.

My Verizon Wireless LTE/WiFi adaptor costs $50/month with a 5 GB monthly cap. I use every bit and on a rare occasion I've stepped over 250 MB and had a $10 overage charge. That device will never be used as a Netflix path. It is barely adequeate to keep my 3 Linux and one WinXP machines patched plus some minimum web surfing/e-mail. Pretty damn expensive for so little utility.
