Why would they? Do they pay you back when your ISP can't provide enough bandwidth for 4K? How much is 4K on top of regular Netflix service? Is it worth worrying about?

Is it them, or is it overselling by ISPs?
Interesting counterpoint to the "broadband is so much better in Europe" trope. Unless of course we are under strain here in the US as well....
I had the exact same thought. I was under the impression that Europe had much more robust broadband infrastructure and a surplus of capacity, compared to the US.
Edit: same for 2018 as well: https://www.statista.com/statistics/956188/monthly-mobile-da...

Is this for the entirety of Europe? Because I imagine we're not having any issues with this in Finland.
It's a made up problem. In Germany, journalists asked the network providers and they said everything is fine. Such a ridiculous and pointless thing to do by the EU. Especially since all the apps drop the quality automatically anyway if the connection is slow.
