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

I'm not sure. But the quality definitely won't be as good as you can get with 25 mbps

If it's the only thing you are doing on your wifi, you could probably get away with it. But if you have a phone or computer hooked up to your internet, you'll see intermittent problems.

6mbps is fine for 240p and okay for 480p. Just get ready for buffering or forced worse quality while watching higher than 480p versions.

As soon as you add another device, yes. If you have absolutely nothing else using bandwidth and your speed is consistent you shouldn't have issues.
