I have gigabit Fios and my Netflix connection is always throttled down to 150 Mbps. I wish there was something I could do about it because I actually do watch 4K content.

But really...it's still pretty good so I don't care enough? This is probably why they do it.



Netflix's recommended connection speed for 4k is 25 Mb/s.

So what exactly does "do something about it" mean in this circumstance? Is your download rate actually saturating your throttled connection?


Yeah you're probably right that it doesn't affect me, I guess I'm just pointing it out.


Even if you're being throttled down to 150Mbit for Netflix streams, their 4K content is usually 15-20Mbit with their recommended throughput being 25Mbit. You can comfortably stream 6 Netflix 4K streams even at 150Mbit.
