A Deep Dive on Binge On
- stcredzero 11y agoAlthough some other non-Binge On content providers might be able to react with lower resolution video as well (this is currently unclear as commentary has been confusing on this detail), clearly a significant number of video content providers cannot. This is because, even if they are using adaptive bitrate technology, their server senses a faster connection and selects video accordingly, and when it starts shipping video, the “pipe” shrinks to 1.5 mbps when T-Mobile identifies the traffic as video. To me, this means that a lot of providers are using pretty crappy "adaptive" technology. To me, "adaptive" doesn't mean take the results of a query, then stick with it, even if it's not working.
