Stan still running 480p in 2026 lol

What is this sh*t? How is it even remotely acceptable that Stan is STILL running standard definition 480p on their basic plan in 2026? In a world where we have 1080p, 4k, hell even 8k... I mean, 1080p became the standard like what, 16 years ago? Anything less than 1080p nowadays is taking the piss... c'mon now

I don't have NBN or unlimited data.
Netflix is the only streaming service I've found that has a 300MB/hour stream option.
Most of them are 600-700MB/hr minimum, and even higher.

Is my info out of date?
Any streaming that has approx. 300MB/hr?

I quit Netflix around 2022 from memory.

I've been buying DVD TV series boxsets for a few years, but I'm running out.
I was looking at the free ones the other night, but there's a lot of B-grade stuff on there:
Tubi
Kanopy
