Don't expect to play games on it at 8K anytime soon.

Waiting for the day there is actually 4K content.

That is nice, but 10mb is not really sufficient to stream 4k, let alone 8k.

With a 100GB monthly cap (In SA). I'd rather stick to uncapped ADSL.

I'm a quantity over quality guy.

How much do you need to stream 4k effectively?

Our prices are not that bad compared to that actually,10mb line uncapped at R300 would be something to talk about.

There is some 4K vids on Youtube, including some 8k's.
Try to stream on your line and see what it does.

8k didn't go too well, even on our corporate line.

Telkom charges R999 (Excluding line rental) for an uncapped 10Mb/s ADSL line... So our pricing doesn't see too bad in comparison.

Just to say they can, the human can't even see the pixels on a 50" 8K panel makes 17" panel rather useless

Yup!

Same story with 4k displays on cellphones these days.
Pointless... unless they can find a way to enhance our vision
