WOW are you shitting me...

From the roku forum :

Guys, guys - stop obsessing about size already!
Roku was never meant to be a dragster - it's a delivery van!
And what it's designed to deliver is video - not to drag race. As such it does not matter staring at what the maximum number printed on the dashboard odometer is - it will never reach it. There is no point in trying to pour nitro in its tank - getting 10-20Mbps is a few times over what's needed already.

I agree completely, with one exception. My Roku 4 can exceed 30 Mbps when streaming 4K material, so a limitation of 10-20 Mbps would be cause for concern. I've seen over 40 Mbps with 4K YouTube video.
That said, I've never encountered a problem with lack of bandwidth on any of my Roku players, even when using the Ethernet jack which supports "only" 100 BaseT speeds..


Ha I've got you all...   not beat by any stretch.. we get a strong 5mbps fairly steady 24/7  supposedly..  And while this kind of speed discussed is very envious of them.. What the hell do you watch that needs that speed..  Then you read in the reply there where it starts "I Agree..."  4K which we may never See here.. I mean the content is there but to be able to see it.. We would likely need twenty to twenty five megs  which they offer but likely wouldn't ever see..  getting the 5mbps was like twisting arms to get.. Here I'm happy as hell getting netflix without the constant buffering  which means I turned it to the worst definition to have that.. I don't have HD so I don't care and truth be told Netflix is all that offers the HD and ultra HD and 4K as well... How badly do you need a lobotomy if you buy into this is the best you can get.. They said that about HD if you can remember ... "It's like looking out a window.."  horse shit... I see very little difference between the two.. But there is a difference... Several thousands of dollars and a happy grin on the salesmans face because he knows he's feeding the people shit and the are eating it right up... Stupid people...
