Note this is Verizon Wireless, the cell service company - not Verizon Fios, the home ISP company. They are both under Verizon Communications, but as far as I can tell this "test" only affected wireless customers.
- empath75 9y agoYeah, I have gigabit fios and I was getting like 250mbps on that test (I have a 300mpbs wifi connection to the router)
- thebiglebrewski 9y agoI have gigabit Fios and my Netflix connection is always throttled down to 150 Mbps. I wish there was something I could do about it because I actually do watch 4K content. But really...it's still pretty good so I don't care enough? This is probably why they do it.
- bb611 9y agoNetflix's recommended connection speed for 4k is 25 Mb/s. So what exactly does "do something about it" mean in this circumstance? Is your download rate actually saturating your throttled connection?
- thebiglebrewski 9y agoYeah you're probably right that it doesn't affect me, I guess I'm just pointing it out.
- vel0city 9y agoEven if you're being throttled down to 150Mbit for Netflix streams, their 4K content is usually 15-20Mbit with their recommended throughput being 25Mbit. You can comfortably stream 6 Netflix 4K streams even at 150Mbit.
