Netflix video bitrate dropped - now looks terrible
About two weeks ago, with zero changes the Netflix video bitrate suddenly dropped - I have 350mbs connection and was working absolutely fine. Now all content on Netflix looks terrible, has there been a software update or change ?

This would be something to query Netflix about, Sky are just a reseller (middle man)

Also worth checking your broadband network and making sure the device you are using the Netflix app on is receiving adequate bandwidth to support the Netflix tier you have.
I certainly haven't noticed any reduction in image quality with my Netflix Premium subscription, viewed on an Apple TV 4K box, connected via ethernet to a 500Mbps FTTP line. We watched a couple of things on there last night, both in 4K with Dolby Vision & Atmos without any issues.
If you are using a Sky Q box, Glass TV or Stream puck to access Netflix, make sure the device has had a recent reboot to clear any cache clog issues.

There is a speed test option within the Netflix app.
