Netflix's bandwidth recommendations range from 3 - 5 mbps for SD to HD quality. But the second you venture into Ultra HD territory it spikes to 25 mbps requirements! (hard to come by in many places...especially when talking about global reach).
I'm a Netflix subscriber and can't tell you how many times the first 3-5 minutes of a movie or show looks like granulated garbage (my girlfriend comments on it all the time in frustration). I live near a metro US city and sometimes only average a 6-8 mbps download speed during peak evening hours.
This press release is an oldie, but it gets the point across for any newer investors still getting their feet wet with NTEK/UltraFlix as to where the competitive advantage comes into play with NTEK:
https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/201511...ing-Worlds
"One of the key forces driving this market is the ability to deliver the best possible viewer experience. With highly optimized video compression techniques, adaptive streaming and intelligent bandwidth management technologies, UltraFlix can stream visually lossless UHD video with uninterrupted viewing as low as 4Mbps , making the highest quality streaming experience available to most North American and European internet subscribers today."
Remember, that was from 2015, long before the mention of the Sony DADC partnership at the recent shareholder meeting which will help "get us fiber drops much closer to the end user" and "ultimately reduce the cost of movie delivery to the end user from $0.65 to $0.12 per movie per user"
