I have just come off a lengthy chat with Netflix support.

I get solid 12Mbps on fast.com.My friend across town is experience the same issues.

Many shows and movies have dropped their max bitrate from 2500-4500Kbits to 1000-1400kbits in Chrome. On my TV and PS3 they always were 1080p and crisp and clear.

I usually use ALT-CTL-SHIFT-S and ALT-CTL-SHIFT-D to check. This is occuring in Chrome, Firefox with silverlight, PS3, Smart sony TV.

Titles such as Jessica Jones now max at 1500Kbits, Movies like Batman vs Superman 1270Kbits.

This started 2-3 days ago. Many titles are fine such as Lost - 4560Kbits.

So many titles I have seen before in HD now won't go past 480p 1000-1400kbits and you can't override because that is the max stated available.

Can anyone else check, especially in Australia and tell me if their bitrates have dropped on many titles.

As I said my friend on the other side of town is having the same probs, ruling out ISP, devices, connection, etc

TLDR: My bitrate has gone to **** on nearly all titles, all of a sudden and it's definitely not at my end. Nearly everything I have watched before in HD is now crap.
