However, the company no longer discloses this on its new redesigned plan page.Bell confirmed in an email statement that it removed the information from the plan page, but it still caps streaming quality.Before the redesign, some plans were listed as limited to SD streaming (480p) or HD streaming (1080p). Customers could purchase a $5/mo add-on to get HD streaming. This cap only applies to video streamed over Bell's network and not video streamed elsewhere, like over a home internet connection.Left: A screenshot of Bell’s old website showing the HD streaming cap.
