> Video may stream at DVD-quality (480p).

How do they manage that over TLS?




They throttle video so that the client switches to a lower bitrate version of the video. You can still identify video streams even if they are encrypted, or being Google they might just have a big list of IPs as Avery3R mentioned.


Thanks.


It's not just video, it's based on IPs. https://fast.com will show a slow speed too
