To achieve HD quality, 1080p@50fps video stream, a stable internet connection with a speed of 10mbs is required.
Where the internet connection is not stable and speeds fluctuate, you're likely to experience changes in video quality and potential buffering. This is because we use what's often referred to as a variable bitrate stream, so your content keeps on playing (as much as possible) regardless of your internet quality.
If your stream suddenly goes from crystal clear to a little soft, it's likely your connection has experienced a temporary reduction in bandwidth. As soon as your connection restores, your stream quality will return.
Testing has shown a stable connection of 10 Mbps will result in reliable playback at 1080p.
