I don’t think that’s really the issue, it’s the streaming that really does them in.

On one hand you have Netflix trying to cram 4k through and the neighbour is trying to have a phone call.

    True, I don't know if they already do it, but limiting media streams to 480p like cell providers do on some plans would probably lower congestion a lot. And maybe limiting large file transfers over a certain size to a lower priority and speed.
