Does it mean they’ll pay me back for the 4K package?
You know, right now is not a time to be thinking about your ability to get the luxury service and goods you're used to. It's about us all staying alive and keeping each other alive and making it through this. Maybe you have to do with a little bit less than you're used to, maybe you don't think it's fair because you've paid $5 extra for your extra stream quality. None of us think what's happening is fair, but we have…

Please don't be unnecessarily condescending on this forum. They're asking a simple question.

Now if this was a similar comment directed at a co-op that had fallen on hard times, then your comment would be more appropriate.
It is kind of unrelated to this, but I am asking maybe somebody could help me. Do you guys know where can I read and learn more about the details of the Netflix network? I looked at their technical blog, but I wanted something more detailed and technical. Is there something like Netflix research papers (e.g. Google published Bigtable IIRC).

Makes you think, how much further we could stretch things if we were all using the Nims/C/C++ of the world instead of the Ruby's. Please don't immediately flame, I'm just saying objectively, we could stretch hardware out much further. What do you guys think about this?
When doing that he found out that Netflix streaming in 4k isn't actually 4k.
Again not exactly sure how this worked but that was the result. And he put some kind of device between the Chromecast and the TV. And at the end of the post he shared his top movies of the year or in the previous post.
Does anyone know what I am talking about? I've thought about this pist several times in the past weeks.
Are there any illustrations of the volumes of traffic that are being sent through core networks for netflix? I was under the impression the vast majority of traffic was served at the edge.
I think that's what they are relieving...edge traffic volumes. If the local ISP cache box lowers it's maximum quality, the ISPs get relief. The ISPs oversubscribed, and can't deal with this many people being at home all at once.
"UK broadband companies say they can cope with increased demand as many more people stay at home during the coronavirus crisis."
They are lowering quality (of service or the catalog size, not always video) and keeping or increasing the prices for a while. Using a global pandemic as an excuse is just a new low.

This question turned up a few hours ago over here [0]. Apparently some ISPs are perversely hostile to peering. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22627764
They are incentivized to attempt to charge for paid peering. It’s not that perverse, unless you like the internet going fast more than you like money.
