Issue is that BAMTech has not had to deal with this scale. Everything breaks at scale. That being said, the issues with the signup and login and servicing webpages are an understood problem at scale, so I do not give them a pass for those failures. On the stream side, Netflix wrote the book on it. There is a great deal of published work by Netflix team on this, down to kernel level coding and tweaking to get 100Gbs out of a single FreeBSD server.
I know if I had to build this I would throw money at the issue by making an outrageous offer to someone that has built this before (from maybe Netflix?) to come and do it for me.
As an aside I have worked on a project like this before on the networking side for the Olympics around 8 years ago. Heck, back in the .bomb I worked at a startup national ISP were doing QoS for video delivery was part of what we were doing. Never worked quite right.
