Config to help YouTube and other streaming sites select best quality automatically?

Well since switching from VDSL to fibre I have noticed that streaming sites never seem to offer me the HD quality streams, even though I now have more bandwidth than ever. Same router, went from a presumably 17a profile with 70/30 to fibre 100/100. Now the SD stream will be selected, and stay selected, unless I change to HD manually. Manual selection plays fine once selected. I was wondering what might cause this? Multiple Windows 10 computers and Nvidia Shield, all 1Gb/s wired connections, are exhibiting this problem. Speed tests indicate I am getting what I am paying for. Same ISP (well you can tell which by the plan I am on).

All I can think of that has changed is the lower latency. Router is DD-WRT running in bridged PPPoE configuration, untagged (same as VDSL config)
