Can they do at the same time, together, with the same license in different machines? No.
Yes. There are two licenses in play: one for any user on the purchasing console (whether online or not), and one for the purchasing user on any console (must be signed in online).
User A buys content on Console 1. User A then logs in to Console 2 and downloads the content. User A can play content on Console 2; Users B through Z can play content on Console 1. At the same time.
I don't know what would be worse -- if he got better service, then the takeaway would be "You have to be the captain of Starfleet's flagship to get better service." He didn't, so it's "Not even the captain of the Enterprise can get good service."
I had a terminal program for my C=64 that let me specify the baud rate. I could crank my 300 baud modem up to about 450 before it would drop too many characters to be useful. Whoo boy, text was just flying across the screen then!
Having a rather common (real) name, I get the occasional threatening letter or phone call from a debt collector fishing for someone with the same (or similar) name.
*The subject line is sarcastic. I would have used a SarcMark™, but I've exhausted my number of licenses for this month.
A group of common people, forced to take time away from their jobs and families at less than federal minimum wage, told they can't leave until they come to a decision about laws no one fully understands... and they're surprised the jury just skipped over the complicated stuff and rushed to a decision so they could go home/back to work?
This is the main reason I buy DVDs -- I can do what I want with them, when I want. I can even take the deleted scenes and re-insert them into the film. And my watching them is not dependent on a less-than-100%-reliable (my home internet connection has been known to "blip"), less-than-omnipresent (on my commute to work, I go through three consistent dead zones), less-than-unlimited (bandwidth metering has been talked to death) service.
Someone tries to smuggle a bomb on board an airplane, so everyone has to take their shoes off before boarding an airplane.
Someone tries to smuggle explosives in their underwear, so everyone must subject themselves to xray or pat-down search to check for explosives in their underwear.
Someone uses a cell phone to smuggle drugs, so everyone must allow their cell phone signals to be tracked.
They pick them at random out of the pool of taxpayers and compel them under penalty of law to leave their jobs and/or families, pay them less than minimum wage, and make judgments about a complex area of law in which they have no experience or expertise.

US internet sucks
A quick google translates that to $24.29
I pay Comcast $69.99 for a "good broadband connection".
Time for me to go into my corner and pout about how much I pay for the only viable option I have for internet....
