Our Netflix streams appear to be struggling with low bit rates on multiple devices. Internet generally seems ok (speed test at max line speed for our connection) but netflix is a tad blocky. Anyone else suffering from this in the Auckland area?

Thanks,

Chris

My fibre connection seems to have poor international performance today as well on 2 Degrees, same as the OP, normal speed tests to 2 Degree servers in NZ

I've just configured smart queues again on the Unifi USG to reduce my loaded latency; both upload and download latency is now ~25ms when speed testing... but Netflix hasn't improved... also noticed that my star citizen stream earlier to Aus was a bit all over the place despite the game having a 50+ fps.

32mbps down and 6mbps up with smart queues keeping 10% capacity spare to avoid saturation. It's only today it's been a problem, never had it before.
