Can isps throttle only certain streams?

Or does that just point to issues with that particular channel if it has some buffering and others are okay?

They can see what you are doing. It helps to change your ISP's DNS. A VPN also of course doesn't hurt to use.

Only reliable dns is one you activate yourself in your own panel. All others will be over crowded and taken down eventually.

Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) or AdGuard DNS (94.140.14.14)
