If you want to know the nitty-gritty details of speed requirements for video services, see how much speed you need to stream video. Gigabit internet is so fast that you could have 20 people stream in 4K at the same time and use only half of your available bandwidth. But even Netflix can’t help much if too many people try to stream at the same time. To help, video services like Netflix and Hulu have a lot of tricks for keeping your viewing experience smooth, such as preloading (buffering) video in the background and lowering the video quality if your connection can’t handle the load. Apple TV+ requires the same amount to stream in 4K, while Hulu is 16 Mbps per device at a minimum. So if four people are streaming simultaneously, your total used bandwidth is 100 Mbps.
If you have people streaming on multiple devices in your home, the speed requirements can add up fast.įor example, Netflix requires 25 Mbps of bandwidth per device when you stream in 4K. Streaming high-resolution video is one of the most bandwidth-intensive things you can do online.
