Internet Speed for IPTV: How Many Mbps You Really Need 

Real numbers for HD and 4K, how many screens your connection can handle, and simple fixes for buffering.

Most buffering problems come from the home network, not the service. Here is what you actually need.

Speed per screen

QualityPer screen
SD5 Mbps
HD / FHD10 Mbps
4K25 Mbps

Add the screens that watch at the same time. Two HD screens and one 4K screen need about 45 Mbps.

Fix buffering in five steps

  1. Use an Ethernet cable, or 5 GHz Wi-Fi close to the router.
  2. Restart the router and the device.
  3. Clear the player app cache.
  4. Set the player decoder to hardware.
  5. Pause big downloads while watching.
