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.

Thank you retiredguy!
