I think you need to change the playback setting for each streaming service. For example, for Netflix, go to Netflix.com, sign in, open "my profile", and select "playback setting" and select the setting you want. When you rent a movie to stream, sometimes you have a choice about the playback resolution.

There are also resolution settings on your TV, cable box, and possibly on your streaming device. But, I don't think changing these settings will affect the Xfinity data calculation. So, if the Internet streaming source is delivering content at 1080p, and you have a lower setting on your cable box, TV, or streaming device, I think you will still be using data at the 1080p data rate because that is the amount of data coming through your modem.
