    My internet isn’t great (about 15 megabit), and HBO has really bad compression artifacts and buffers really often, whereas Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, Disney, etc all do just fine.

      I’m not saying it’s fact but it’s not unrealistic to think your provider might be giving preference to some of those on your list.

        They shouldn’t be. My internet comes from a WISP antenna network that I help manage connected to Fiberlight.

        We’re a small neighborhood across a lake from any meaningful cities, so we have a 150-ft tower on either side of the lake. One side is connected to the fiber and the other has directional antennas aimed at receivers for each house.
