Your ISP might be throttling Facebook video
- gjs278 5y agodoubt it. facebook videos just absolutely suck in quality.
- gruez 5y 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 5y 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
