In fairness, that is actually how Netflix works - it dynamically changes the quality of the content depending on your connection at the time.

Not so much, not with netflix. A really poor connection would do that, but a slower but stable connection will just cause netflix to stick to a lower quality stream. I must admit it's frustrating that netflix don't allow you to override this and I do sometimes get VHS quality in the middle of a film for a minute or two and can't really do anything about it, but it's fairly rare. I don't have a 4K TV so I can't comment on 4K.
Seph does bring up what I was going to suggest looking at - wireless. It's entirely possible that the connection is fine, but the wireless is the trouble. I don't know how "good" Infinity's wireless is, but it's reasonable to assume it could have been configured better than Virgin's. Is it possible to connect your TV via ethernet? Even just temporarily to test the theory.
