The unfortunate fact is that there isnt remotely enough bandwidth currently (on any carrier), even with the improvements in speed, for everyone to stream video at the same time. I am not a Verizon fan or a fan of their plans and have never had their service, but given that broadcast OTA tv is 720p, which is still more than acceptably sharp on 60+ in screens (most 32 in tv's are 720p), asking for 1080p on a phone screen seems like a technical nit pick. Just because the phone screen can do it, doesnt mean the difference is noticeable. 480 is however, noticeably grainy on tv sized screens. on 6 I'd expect it to be acceptable . Perhaps the phones could sw/firmware upscale.
