What does going to 10G, let alone 25G, get you? Are you really planning on 70-100 4K simultaneous movie streams on 10G, or 160-250 simultaneous streams on 25?
- Trixter 3y agoThat's missing some of the bigger picture. One of the reasons streaming 4k content is at a lower bitrate is because it has to deal with network hiccups and fit inside the buffer of most playback devices. A computer or phone has plenty of room, but streaming 4K content to a TV or chromecast/roku/firestick/etc. does not. Faster bandwidth means keeping the bucket full more reliably.
