Is 480p good enough for Netflix?

Frankly 480p sucks and the Standard plan is worth it because the picture is much, much better. If you don't have a decent internet connection (more than about 10Mbps) then just get the Basic plan. If you have a 4K TV, it may be worth considering the Premium plan which allows you to watch content in 4K Ultra HD.
