It’s not to say they’re unreliable, but as Sky are punting £90 a month subscriptions and not £9 a month reducing the PQ to reduce bandwidth for customers used to HD and 4K via satellite because an ISP somewhere starts throttling in peak times isn’t an optimal outcome.

During lockdown 1 Netflix and others reduced bandwidth because of the amount of traffic on the internet. I think it works well because not everyone is trying to use it at once - others are watching broadcast channels on cable, satellite and terrestrial or recordings.
