re: 6mbps vs 25mbps how fast is fast enough for streaming tv?

so you would say 6 would be kinda marginal and prone to buffering?

traditional streaming defines HD as only 640 and UHD as only 720 res.. not really all that much is it.

what's just as important as the "pipe" is quality of service, if your provider doesn't know how to configure their load balancing routers or uses some of questionable design, you can have a lot of "shaky" high speed bandwidth. too much wow and flutter in your service is really just as bad as to little bandwidth.


just a point, quality of service matters.
