The current scenario created by the CoVID-19 epidemic has some unexpected but logical consequences. Because most of the citizens are at home, at least in countries like Spain or Italy, telecommunications networks are more widely used than usual.
This creates the risk of networks falling over time. Some advised a few days ago so that among all users we would try to make more sense of the many online services we have.
But there is a kind that desperately needs the service with bandwidth, video streaming, something that is very common in Europe because of services like HBO or Netflix. And it was the last company that confirmed that they would put a recommendation from the European Union asking them to cancel the possibility of seeing the series and their movies in the best solution.
For a while you will see Netflix worse than before
According to the BBC, Netflix will reduce the quality of your broadcast for 30 days adapt to European Union requirements. This way, even though we have a contract for the Ultra system we're allowed to see 4K content, we won't be able to see it as before.
According to the company, reducing quality can reduce data usage by up to 25%. Of course, this does not mean that 4K is evenly distributed, only that the pressure will be greater and we will see it worse.
In fact, there are some users who are already asking on Twitter that it is possible to view 4K content canceled and, if so, if that would result in a reduction in their monthly rate as many of them opt for a more expensive price. Not because they want to be able to watch series or movies on multiple devices at the same time, but because they want to watch them in 4K.
