The ITV Hub did do 50fps for a while, but sadly for some reason regressed back to 25fps when it became ITVX.
Really, 50/60fps on streaming services should be standard at this point, with streaming becoming more and more dominant and increasing amounts of content only being made available by streaming, having content look the same as it would on TV and physical media should be a must. Streaming services keep upgrading their offerings with things like UHD, HDR, 5.1 etc., but somehow they still keep sticking at 24/25/30fps through it all and it's the major element where streaming really is at a disadvantage to linear TV and physical media. If the BBC can do it, and have been for several years, you have to ask why the big boys (apart from some sport on Amazon, and a couple of test streams on Netflix- and YouTube with its user generated content) seemingly can't.
