3. Not much you can do.

Unless your state is a good regulator.

The issue is between Netflix and the cable companies,and has been known for some time.
Seems just lately the cable companies are doing something about it.
Netflix wants to offer low cost streaming, plus a free ride on the broadband carriers infrastructure.
It is not likely to jack up prices.
Broadband wants to be paid for the bandwidth hogging, ( as they see it) and since Netflix won't pay, the customers will. They are suggesting a tiered price list based on GB usage.
If that happens, you, the customer, will pay them more for streaming.
Now that broad band is becoming more of a monopoly, with the Comcast purchase of Time Warner at hand,
jacking up rates in this overall unregulated environment is predictable.
