There's another of him


I'll let someone who knows answer the question though

Huh?

To watch in full HD you'll need a 10Mbps connection, however 4Mbps will do fine as their SD is more comparable to 720p than SD. I use Neotel fibre, but I never had any issues with MWEB and I hear Web Africa's streaming is good as well. A couple of people I know struggle on Afrihost but others are happy so a bit of a hit and miss there.

Add R99 and get a 10Mbps uncapped connection including line rental with Web Africa.

Or pay R549pm for the 4Mbps, but you won't have Full HD or 5.1 surround sound.

Choices choices.

What about a 6mb line?

Don't stress OP as the chosen one will arrive soon to spread the gospel about That ISP

For 1 Stream I'd say you need 4Meg for best results, but 2Meg is still good if no one else is using the line.

I'm on Web Africa as Streaming is perfect, but VOX Fat Pipe is also good.

What about a 6mb line?

You need to be able to handle 3GB per hour for Full HD, and a 6Mbps at full line speed (highly unlikely) will give you 2.7GB per hour.

For full HD you need minimum 8Mbps but preferably 10 to be safe.

This is the thing though, unless you really want the Full HD, this will suffice, the streaming quality is fantastic on a 4Mbps line. (With a good ISP).

You guys are making him worry for nothing. Netflix's compression algo is fantastic. Way better quality than YouTube for the same bitrate/resolution.
