We have identified an issue in webrtc when using either web application in chrome or iOS app (haven't tried other platforms). The steps to reproduce:
  1. Start a webrtc application on a smart phone
  2. Disable 4g
  3. Go to area with poor network signal (3g with 2 bars)
  4. Start publishing video via webrtc (one way streaming without subscribing)
  5. Stay in the area for about 1 minute. Notice that receiver will get video of small size and very poor quality (pixelated and / or chunky).
  6. Go to area with good signal (3g with at least 4 bars)
  7. Stay there for about 1 or more minutes
Expected: video quality improves and video frame size increases
Actual: video quality and frame size stay the same

Chrome 59, 60
WebRTC M69, M60 in iOS

Did somebody experience something like that? Am I missing something in configuration?
