Netflix has been (sometimes) throttled in Canada since March. Dunno about USA.

I thought I saw somewhere recently that Netflix has not done this yet in the US.

Well now you got to tell me how you liked blood shot. I was thinking about seeing it but all the bad reviews kept me away

First off ! You dont take reviews just blindly, that is first thing. Reviews are good indication but they are not like Gospel Truth !! Second I think it was a one and half hour of no brainer bang...bang...Box Office Formula of being a commercial film, where there is a bit of story the Hero has a troubled past, gets some problems, comes back to take revenge blah...blah...

And being not an American I like that story of U.S. Military going after Terrorists in Africa and the Middle East. CIA Operations. U.S. Marines getting into action, There is a Mission Control Room, where everyone is watching live action as it happens on the Big Screen, Other Techies in that Mission Control room zooming in their Drones on a secret terrorist hide-out and guiding step by step the U.S. Marines on Radio lol ! It is Fun ! I like that kind of Fancy. Imaginative Story, keeps you engrossed and is good entertainment. But like I said to each its own ! If I like a cheese pizza doesnt mean you will like it.

What services actually stream 4K videos to the iPad? Last I checked, the best iTunes, Netflix and Amazon does is 1080p. They'll send 4K to the AppleTV but not to iPad.

Mind, I do run my own Plex server and full quality 4K Blu-ray looks great on the iPad Pro 12.9. Increase in detail is very noticeable.

On iPad Pro 10.5, apart from HDR, 4K didn't really look any better than 1080p.

What if You connect an external Monitor to the iPad Pro ? Do you still not get anything higher than 1080P for e.g. if you are on the Netflix MAX Plan ?
