You could try the tracepath command which works a little bit differently and doesn't need root privileges on UNIX/LINUX. This can show if packets are fragmented and highlight asymmetric routing though the latter isn't always the problem it used to be.
Whatever the case, using cloudflare kills nowtv/btsport for me.

BT sport ultimate - constant buffering and unwatchable

BT SPORT HD - really bad quality with buffering, just less than ultimate

Nowtv - buffering and really poor quality

As soon as I revert to VM dns it’s fine
