I must be lucky, I'm halfway up a welsh mountain, and can watch iPlayer consistently even like today when it's blowing a gale the missus can still stream movies fine
Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.
No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.
Have you looked to see how much bandwidth these streaming services actually use? I have 40Mb fibre (too cheap to pay the extra for 80Mb); Netflix and Amazon Prime use a very poor quality 2Mb. iPlayer is worse. The Sky boxsets are best at about 8Mb, but then as it can download in advance it doesn't matter so much how fast your connection is.
I've been a BT infinity customer since last Wednesday which is the exact day the phone stopped working.
No longer with BT. Using Andrews & Arnold. Not cheap but the service has been fantastic and they seem able to get BT to fix stuff that had plagued us for years before we switched. We transferred the phone line to them as well so now if there are any issues we just ring A&A and they deal with it for us.
UK based, 1st line support staff who can actually fix stuff and dont just read from a script and will happily talk tech with you on the phone.

Surely it's good that they don't use loads of data? On our 40" TV the picture is sharp and pretty. I don't know if Prime has such a feature, but have you double-checked your Netflix settings on the website, where they let you set maximum quality/bandwidth?
Ours is set to:
High (best video quality, up to 3 GB per hour for HD, 7 GB per hour for Ultra HD)

Set to auto. Will try setting it to high.
It's good for them and your ISP as they save money. If you're paying for an unlimited connection as I am, how can it be good to not use it and have a lower quality service? I've had Sky HD for years, and Netflix in HD is substantially worse than any of the Sky HD channels, and the Sky HD boxsets, and that's a shame.
