Download speeds needed for streaming on 4k television and what Sonic delivers
Posted: Sat Sep 12, 2020 2:40 pm
Age has moved me to more sedentary activities and so I decided to upgrade my TV to 4k and get a "streaming" hook up (never had one before, don't know about them)..
1) I read Consumer reports and they say that to get the full effects of 4k TV I need a download speed (I guess to the streaming device, such as Roku) of 25 Mbps.
2) My Sonic bill says I’m paying for Fusion Broadband - X2 - STI-0129508- 2 @ $60/mo and that I have the fastest service available at my location
3) Speed tests are always around 4-6 Mbps on my computer.
4) Sonic also advertises “up to 15Mbps” @ $40/mo and up to 30 Mbps @ $60/mo. Why do I get only 4-6 Mbps?
So, how do I put all this info together and come up with a coherent plan on what to do?
Thanks very much.
