Netflix dropping to potato quality after a few minutes is infuriating. Refresh the browser and quality goes back up for a few minutes before it drops again. My wife often doesn’t notice it; it drives me nuts. My theory is that they try to save bandwidth by dropping quality after some time and hoping you don’t notice.
