    I get like 20mbps down and it’s fine. Netflix only recommends 15 Mbps for 4k streaming. Lol, looking at websites and stuff is certainly not a problem. About the only time speed has ever been an issue is if I need to download a large game on steam. But I attribute that more to developers just being too lazy to actually optimize their games. I shouldn’t need to download 50 gigabytes to play some game when I’m just running at medium settings.

      4k requires 25mbit, at 15 your going to lose quality or frame rate.

        Where are you getting that? This says 15 Mbps.

        I’m sure you’re going to have a worse or slower experience particularly when scrubbing, but it should be just adequate.
