At least here, the video quality is not good on FB. I have 120 mbit/sec connection, youtube plays good quality 4k just fine. I don’t think I ever saw 1080p served by facebook, both resolution and bitrate are very low.
- ericbarrett 6y agoYour ISP might be throttling Facebook video
- gjs278 6y agodoubt it. facebook videos just absolutely suck in quality.
- gruez 6y agoThere's other explanations as well: * ISP has poor peering to facebook servers * ISP has cache/CDN node installed, but that's overloaded * the content that OP viewed isn't popular so it has to be pulled from origin, which adds another layer of complications
- ericbarrett 6y agoAll possible. But FB video (meaning also Instagram) is a popular target for cheap ISPs that don't rate a peer to constrict since it consumes such a large portion of users' total bandwidth, especially on mobile
- mrtksn 6y agoNothing is bad as reddit video that would load random segments instead of consequential ones or Twitter video that would be 3 seconds on 4K 20 seconds 144p 5 more seconds in buffering or Vimeo that’s buffering all the times on 100Mbps connection. Moral of the story: Video is hard, apart from Youtube, Twitch, Netflix and Amazon Prime I don’t know any service that plays video flowlessly. O.K. maybe some ad networks too.
