Good news for all those who have been waiting to put their 4K TVs to some badass use. The hugely popular television series, Breaking Bad, is now available for streaming at 4K resolution via Netflix. Though this is something amazing, the bandwidth and other caps that the ISPs put while streaming might be an issue.
Netflix has been having a tough time ever since the company started gaining popularity and started streaming movies and TV series in high definition. The Internet Service Providers are trying to reduce their traffic spikes because of Netflix and trying to monetise with it. But then, here’s a TV series that’s already very popular, and is now available for streaming in the commercially highest resolution, 4K.
The company earlier promised that the Breaking Bad series will be available for streaming in HD in June, and it has delivered. Joris Evers from Netflix confirmed this news via Twitter today:
Breaking Bad now streaming in Ultra HD 4K everywhere @netflix is available!

Joris also tweeted clearing off claims that Netflix’s poor performance is because its Verizon’s fault. Happy streaming my friends.
