DISH Anywhere - bandwidth requirement for 4K content from DISH Hopper 3

[Almighty1]

And yet I have a neighbor with 25 down AT&T Uverse who get stalled/kicked off non 4k Netflix all the time.

Speed is only one of the elements, also need to look at latencies and what the routing and the ping times which would show the latencies and if there are any other issues with the circuit.

I know for HD, it's 5MBps for certain but for 4K, it seems to vary by vendor as Amazon advises 15Mbps while NetFlix advises 25Mbps but that depends on what the Hopper 3 is capable of actually pushing maximum for the DishAnywhere stream so it could be more or less as I don't see it published anywhere. On Demand is streamed from the DISH's servers so you wouldn't even be using your 25/3 connection unless you were watching it at home but then it would be using the 25 and not the 3. Is this big 10 school Purdue?

I never could maintain a UHD stream on 25Mbps VDSL2, which is what I assume 25Mbps Uverse is. I suspected noise issues are the culprit in my case, but it could be other causes.

Don't cell companies down rez video streams? I think my T-Mobile does.

If it is within their detection protocol, yes, or at least it is an option. I would think that Sling's adaptive bitrate tech is well known enough to fall into this category, but I don't know that for sure.

Yes, for known providers if you turn on BingeOn, and if you are going over their network.

They do and I forgot all about that one. I'm on XFINITY Mobile which uses Verizon Wireless and for the time being, everything is 720p max as they still have not began charging for 720p yet even though they plan to in the future. When I did my viewing on the mobile mentioned previously, it was always using WiFi so the mobile network was not involved in any way.
