Hi, can anyone give a more realistic minimum recommended broadband speed for Netflix? At the moment we only have ADSL broadband between 10-18mbps at best on just watching 1080p clips on YouTube usually means buffering so guessing 4K is out of the question ? But notice on a lot of ads, the recommended minimum speeds seem way too low. I’d guess for 1080p to work reliably, at least 20mbps, but for a more stable service, I’d honestly think 30MBPS. And guess double (or is 4k 4 times the resolution of 1080p?) or four times for ultra hd? Which would mean at least 120mbps? That seems a bit high though, so anyone a 50ish Mbps broadband service able to stream 4K films with few problems? This is way it annoys me when people say “oh you
Don’t need 100meg, you don’t need 1gig etc), if companies can already offer these speeds then sell them. But it seems a Lot hold back and then release this new bigger increase too late but as it seems a Huge leap they charge high prices. I mean Virgin does seem a lot more than sky, talk talk etc. But at least you get regular speed boosts without costing much more. But if there prices were closer to sky etc, they could easily increase the number of customers. In my street, BT have interest in putting fibre so more are getting Virgin, if there prices were lower the older customers would
probably consider packages with TV and mobiles. I just wish they’d be aggressive and lower prices as the increase in customers could be huge and raise money quicker for
network upgrades etc. Sorry In a thoughtful mood lol. Hope I find others who like a good chat lol
