  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.

      It seems more likely that HBO doesnt have many customers in the 15 Mbps range, so they haven’t invested much time on optimizing the experience.

        I’m curious about this statistic. Got a source?

        It’d make a pretty interesting read, especially if we start comparing production quality of shows between the streaming services.

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