I started to try it, but decided to see if the last update fixed anything. I switched the HDMI cables on my cable box and fired up the xbox. The picture was the right size. So, indirectly the trick fixed the problem.

Now, there is this awesome news:

Are you constantly streaming high-definition video, downloading tons of Xbox One games and sending massive files to friends and family? You should pay more for Internet access than your neighbor, who only uses a 10-year-old PC in his living room to read email and occasionally browse the Internet for cat GIFs. This is the position of Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam, who said this week that heavy broadband users should have to pay more for home Internet access than those who don’t take full advantage of the service for which they already pay top dollar.

“It’s only natural that the heavy users help contribute to the investment to keep the Web healthy,” McAdam said on Monday, according to IDG News Service. “That is the most important concept of net neutrality.”

UHHH, we do contribute by paying upwards of $100 a month for your advertised UNLIMITED internet. It's not like the equipment that facilitates access degrades the more it is used like water pipes.

Also, see my links on the previous page where Verizon was given huge tax breaks and subsidizes to upgrade their network, but instead pocketed the cash and didn't deliver.
