Nope, no attempt at bandwidth controls from my end. My wife is watching some kind of HD stream from her home country, I'm watching netflix or youtube and web surfing, and have 3 torrents pulling down from archive.org right now at around 1-2Mb/s.
I'm sure there's some kind of fallback to SD from Netflix, their webpage claims I need 5Mb/s to get 720p, and 25Mb/s for "Ultra HD" (whatever that is and I'm pretty sure I'm not getting that for old episodes of Firefly) leaving me with somewhere between 25-45Mb/s. I'm pretty sure my wife isn't gobbling all that up with whatever it is she's watching. Web browsing is much lighter.
So all told, worst case I'm looking at
- 6Mb/s torrents
- 5Mb/s Netflix
- let's say 5Mb/s for my wife's video
- some fraction of 1Mb/s for our collective web surfing
Maybe 17-20Mb/s?
Amazingly, with all that going on, if I go do a speed test, it still showed me around 40/50 so I'm definitely under that.
