Experiencing stuttering on a firestick 4k using the Stbmu app. Its usually sports or anything really popular. Wireless connection but all other apps work fine and without jitter.

Ok I just read your message and here are some ideas.
-You say "Its usually sports or anything really popular", so basically on peak hours during hot events this happens:
1-If this is about UK channels, maybe this is due to providers moving and adapting to iCAM and has caused many instabilities during past 3 weeks.
2-This could also be your provider's issue if this is happening only during peak hours, maybe they are overselling and running out of server resources e.g Bandwidth.
3-If you are absolutely certain that your ISP applies throttling which I doubt, run it through VPN.
4-Another way to make sure wether Firestick is the problem, is to install VLC Player on PC, download the M3U file of your sub and run the service there during same live events, see how it runs and compare.
What software are you using to watch your IPTV? If it's DMC Smarters then I had the exact same issue. My fix was to start any stream and then once it was running, click the select button on your firestick. A menu will appear with back, pause, forward icons and a HW button which should be the 2nd right from the end of the menu. Select it so that it turns red. This smoothed out my jittering issues. The HW selection will stay enabled across all channels and also restarts of DMC Smarters.
Hopefully the above is clear enough. Good luck and happy streaming.
Have you cleared cache on the stick? Reset the stick? Turn off your modem for 5 minutes. I do this weekly and it really limits any Buffering.
