I'm not sure what resolution each service streams at, but I'd be surprised if they all didn't stream at least 1080p. I believe there is some stuff available at 4K.

As for bits per month, if you mean a limit on the data they allow to be streamed per month, I don't think there is one. The limit would be from your internet provider. For example, Comcast is now capped at 1TB per month in many markets, with two months of grace if you go over. After that, they charge $10 per 50GB, with your total capped at $200 no matter how much you use. Or, you can pay $50 more per month for unlimited data.

I forget what the figures are for GB per hour used at 1080p, 4K, etc., but 1TB is quite a lot. I do quite a bit of streaming and I've never gone past 250GB in a month. Obviously, if I cut the cord I would stream a lot more, but I doubt I'd ever pass 1TB. Much of what I watch is available locally over-the-air (OTA), for which I would use a cheap HD antenna. I can get about 35 channels in my area and the picture is astounding -- better than cable or satellite.

Hope this helps.
