Netflix Just Made It Way Easier To Stream Shows On the Go

• http://www.wired.com

Streaming Netflix over a cellular connection has always felt like a sketchy proposition. You know you're burning data, but you just have to watch one more episode of that show you're currently obsessed with.

Well, Netflix just rolled out a feature that means you may have to worry less. It lets subscribers adjust the quality of their video streams while on a cellular connection so they can stream while using less data. The new controls, available on both iOS and Android, let you switch from an automatic default—about 3 hours of streaming per gigabyte of data—to either higher or lower-quality settings.

Once you're back within Wi-Fi range, you automatically get your high-quality stream back, so you can continue to watch Frank Underwood plot his presidential schemes in full high-def glory.

The tool revealed today comes after Netflix admitted in March that it did send lower-quality video to mobile subscribers on AT&T and Verizon's networks.
