A friend and I, in separate states, found that it wouldn’t stream from TVs, Roku, etc. but would stream from mobile. And for me, using a mobile hotspot to a laptop; though that implies checking IP address range instead of just user-agent, so that seems unlikely.

Anyway, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were prioritizing mobile traffic because it’s more forgiving of shitty bitrate.

I wonder if this points to network peering and edge nodes. Mobile network vs cabled network likely being routed to different places.
