Tp4 thinks ~300mbps , 37.5 Megabyte/second,  is about as fast as any net service ever get up to.

So, any more, won't really improve real world usage much.


Thoughts?

suicidal_orange:
I get 8MB/S and that's plenty.  Everything can be streamed now so download times are irrelevant.

A family of 4, each member of which has multiple devices, along with the family TV, can suck down some bandwidth.

4k netflix hdr can get up to 40mbit though, if you have 2 of those streams, that could choke though rarely since there's a buffer.

And why would I want to pretend to watch two 4k streams at once?  If I'm not really watching they can be lower res, if I am watching there would be only one.  This is ignoring the fact that there's not a 4k capable screen in my house.  No netflix either...

Like I said - "for me" 8MB/s is enough :thumb:
