Yep, I actually switched to fios from Xfinity for this reason, fios has much better upload speeds.
but for people in your situation its a VERY easy fix for you. just go into settings, remote access then set the stream limit at whatever suits you like 8mbs. which is why its such a poor excuse to say that some people have data limits or slow internet to justify not bumping the default up to maximum\original. It is very easy to limit streams bandwidth on the server side without having to rely on users to constantly change settings.
@cwestemeyer I agree with eyegraber it doesnt always use more bandwidth. a good portion of my library is also x265 1080p at around 2-3mbs with the current default it actually forces a transcode to SD or 720 x264 @2 or 4mbs and is incredibly annoying forcing extra bandwidth plus extra work on cpu all while producing worse quality video. but yes you are correct in everything else
