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

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.

I was making a guess but I found at least some people sharing their experience here:

Wow. Thanks for responding with a link!
Reading the responses, it seems like the quality is based on the app or device doing the streaming. PC streaming seems to fare the worst.
I have a dedicated TV app and another on an Xbox Series X. I prefer the console app because the sound decoding seems to be better.
I’ll have to do my own testing between more devices and compare image quality.
Sorry for doubting you.
