    @stevie2612 @NOWTV @virginmedia No I’m on a 108Mbps from virgin myself so no problem with my ISP just stating the fact the industry standard for 1080p is 5 Mbps not the 12 you need for Now TV but even at my 108Mbps it can be a poor stream on 720p on Now TV yet no problems streaming 4K on other services
