I’m not gonna dog on HBO out of all of them. They had been doing this subscription for premium content thing way before Netflix, and were the reason why we have so many amazing shows, some of which regularly make top 10 lists of all time.
They still have some good shows but its hard to justify the cost, as was always the case.
My internet isn’t great (about 15 megabit), and HBO has really bad compression artifacts and buffers really often, whereas Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, Disney, etc all do just fine.
They shouldn’t be. My internet comes from a WISP antenna network that I help manage connected to Fiberlight.
We’re a small neighborhood across a lake from any meaningful cities, so we have a 150-ft tower on either side of the lake. One side is connected to the fiber and the other has directional antennas aimed at receivers for each house.
I think it’s just called BO Max these days

My biggest issue with them is their shit streaming quality.
Can’t say I’ve experienced this issue.

I’m not saying it’s fact but it’s not unrealistic to think your provider might be giving preference to some of those on your list.
It seems more likely that HBO doesnt have many customers in the 15 Mbps range, so they haven’t invested much time on optimizing the experience.
I’m curious about this statistic. Got a source?
It’d make a pretty interesting read, especially if we start comparing production quality of shows between the streaming services.
I was making a guess but I found at least some people sharing their experience here:
