I'm going with compression which is definitely higher on O2 than any other network. That, combined with D/L speed will have a massive effect on picture quality.
You can try using "bypass" as your apn to see if it improves at all which will prove it one way or another.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

As I say, it's noticable between the 2 networks for me and bearing in mind that the Note 2 is inferior to the Note 4 with regards to D/L speed.

Calling all androids slight_smile . Isn't the streaming quite good quality on the Note 3 and 4?

 


One does not simply tag @viridis 

 

 


 

One simply does tag @viridis because he just knows about android Hero...The rest of the post proves it!

(and one will continue to tag...LOL)


Look at your original post, the tag didn't happen, you failed. 

And only when you've truly understood the depth of your failure, then @Anonymous do you have my permission to tag.
