I have seen customers recently using 12 Mbps for what appears to be a single Netflix video stream. Anyone else seeing this?
I was puzzled what could be between HD at 5-6 Mbps and UHD at 15-25 Mbps? But then I saw this: https://netflixtechblog.com/optimized-shot-based-encodes-for-4k-now-streamin g-47b516b10bbb Are these customers streaming 4K video? And if so, does anyone know what happens if other people in the house start using bandwidth, will Netflix gracefully adjust the video quality downward to lower quality UHD or to HD? Or will customers start watching 4K UHD and then complain their Internet sucks if other usage in the house drops the available download bandwidth to 8 or 10 Mbps? And I wonder how this interacts with Netflix supposedly limiting stream rates during the pandemic to lessen the burden on Internet infrastructure.
