The second part. Fixed wireless is not even on their radar.

So they are trying to stuff every last bit as an end device modulates up
and down?

Or are you saying that's how they determine if they can scale up the
resolution "because there is more throughout available now".

Has anyone else observed Netflix sessions attempting to come into
customer CPE devices at well in excess of the customers throttled plan?

I'm not talking error retries on the line. I'm talking like two to three
times in excess of what the customers CPE device can handle.

I'm observing massive buffer overruns in some of our switches that appear
to be directly related to this. And I can't figure out what possible good
purpose Netflix would have for attempting to do this.

Curious if anyone else has seen it?
