Thanks EU for your concern now GFY.

European Commissioner Thierry Breton tweeted Wednesday night that he spoke with Netflix CEO Reed Hastings about lowering the service's streaming speeds. It's part of an effort to encourage people and companies to switch back to standard definition, instead of high definition (let alone ultra-crisp 4K), when it's not necessary in order to keep the pipelines flowing to all. The request raises the possibility of streaming content reverting to 20th century-level picture quality during the crisis in some areas.
GET READY FOR SOME BASKETBALL BAWS!!!

With all the people needing to work from home this seems reasonable for a time period.

So the work they do from home online wasn’t done online at the office? I wasn’t aware offices had gone back to paper copies and fax machines.

I think EU leadership advising anyone on anything at this point is a little egregious

They can go back to 1950's picture quality in Europe for all I care but don't even dream of that shite in the United States.

Netflix will reduce the streaming quality of its service in Europe for the next 30 days.
The move is aimed at reducing the strain on internet service providers.
With large sections of Europe confirmed to their homes because of the coronavirus outbreak, demand for streaming has increased.
The video-streaming provider said lowering the picture quality would reduce Netflix data consumption by 25%.
"We estimate this will reduce Netflix traffic by around 25% while also ensuring a good quality service for our members," the company said.

Not surprising. It's the EU. And on top of that Netflix gets to charge the same amount and pay 25% less than it normally would for bandwidth. Why wouldn't they agree?

What? People and kids stream just as much at work and school. This just changes the location they are streaming.
