This has not been true for most people for a while now. Even the high end of 4K blue rays tops out around 100 Mbps, which is achievable on pretty much any broadband connection.
- saturn8601 3mo agoNetflix isn't serving 100Mbps though.
- deltoidmaximus 3mo agoAre any streaming services actually serving that bitrate?
- Anamon 3mo agoSony's is.
- HelloMcFly 3mo ago> which is achievable on pretty much any broadband connection It's only achievable in a real sense if there are video providers out there offering the content at that bitrate. The absolute best you can hope for in optimal conditions is from Apple TV+ at between 30-40 Mbps which is equivalent to what you get with a non-4k blu-ray.
- swiftcoder 3mo agoFor sure, my only contention is that the bandwidth is there, which makes the paltry bitrates Netflix et al will provide you even more frustrating...
- mikestew 3mo agoYeah, you’re right. Despite Grandpa over here having a 1Gb fiber connection, my head was apparently stuck in 2005 thinking 50 Mbps downstream internet is some kind of high-faluten’ wizardry.
