Hi there. I've checked the availability and been told I can get either Fibre 35 or Fibre 65 where I am now (in South East Cornwall).
This is fast enough for my purposes now, but will it be fast enough for 4K streaming in the future? Ideally I'd like the option to move to Fibre 150 before long.
Here's the link I'm referring to here, which suggests a minimum of 50 Mb/s download speed for 4K UHD streaming (and later on suggests that this may be a conservative figure if you allow for the possibility of 25% dropoff);

Thanks in advance,

Thank you Arne. I will keep looking for the faster connections though because it would be nice to have access to them (and they were also part of the discussion I had when I agreed to extend my contract).

Hi ColonelPanic232
Fibre 35 is actually 40 down 10 up , and Fibre 65 is 80 down 20 up.
So based on that article if they recommend 50mbps then fiber 65 will be most suitable.
