- the_mitsuhiko 4y agoI don’t think most devices in this household have even controls for this, let alone that family members would use that. Particularly the kids. Since we have gigabit speeds every app happily picks highest bitrate and resolution.
- bombcar 4y agoYoutube does, but I don't know if you can force it to stick. A "smart router" that slows down packets for video would be amusing, if not easy to setup.
- spockz 4y agoI suppose that would just be the opposite of QoS. If you have fixed addresses it should be relatively easy too throttle all traffic from those devices.
- Gigachad 4y ago720p video is unwatchable on a TV. There is a very sharp decline in quality fro 4k to 1080p but its tolerable. I would not want to watch 720p unless it was on a phone screen.
- sokoloff 4y agoUnwatchable? That seems somewhat hyperbolic. Mere 20 years ago, 720p was on the high end of typical content and perfectly watchable on wall-sized TVs and projection screens.
- Dylan16807 4y agoThough 20 years ago 720p wasn't the budget/data-saver edition. Today 720p is a mess of compression artifacts a lot of the time.
