Don't take my word for it but I'm almost sure people with 20Mbps VDSL say they can stream 4K Netflix.
 
so what i have learnt i needed a 5mbps line to do a 1080p 5.1. so theoretically you would need a stable 20mbps line however. as soon as anything else happens on the line the quality would go down so a 25mbps line would be required to allow the buffer to run a bit faster.
 
I have a 20mbps VDSL line (Axxess) and rarely have a problem with Netflix UHD. This is on a Samsung SmartTV. Actual speed using the Netflix speedtest utility (fast.com) is usually 18mbps. Amazon UHD is okay but not anywhere as good as Netflix.
 
I have a 10Mbs line, stream Netflix at 1080 with downloads running in the background. Sure, it starts off at 240 and then picks up. WiFi to my Roku4.
 
With Netflix compression tech, im sure it will work great at 16mbps and above. I can steam 1080 at 4mbps
 
Just an FYI - if you are streaming to a PC, then the only browser that actually outputs in true 4k is Microsoft Edge (windows 10 only).
The apps that run directly on a smart TV are fine, but in windows there's a hardware issue that restricts the video decoding that the GPUs can do.
 
Thx.....hope i can get 20mb...telkom says dp can give 20mb...but they stil have to test....
