  I'm not convinced that the question was genuine, but thanks for partial clarification. It is my unwavering opinion that such settings should be accessible through the Android/Apple interface and not within the specific carrier account. As mentioned but entirely missed by the parent to your reply, multiple conversations with tech support failed to mention these settings. In my case, also as mentioned in the post, it seems Verizon decided to alter the settings on their end. Verizon is very pushy with their proprietary blobs, eg buy a phone of any brand and a bunch of Verizon software is hard baked and cannot be removed even through ADB. And I always use ADB to clean a phone as much as possible without rooting. If I tell the video to play in any permitted resolution, ideally the request shouldn't even require interaction with the phone's settings - it should simply serve the requested resolution provided the data rate is capable, which mine is (and more) according the the contract.
