In brief

How much internet speed does my IPTV setup need?

As a conservative planning baseline, allow around 8 Mbps per HD device, 15 Mbps per Full HD device and 25 Mbps per 4K device. Add all devices used at the same time and include an additional 20 to 30 per cent headroom.

HD: approx. 8 Mbps per device

The values are a practical planning aid. Actual performance also depends on the router, provider, server, device and time of day.

How it is calculated

Conservative planning values instead of false guarantees

The calculator uses quality guidelines, accounts for multiple simultaneous devices and adds headroom for protocol overhead, Wi-Fi and connection fluctuations.

Picture quality

The higher the resolution and bitrate, the more stable bandwidth should be available per device.

Simultaneous use

Multiple streams share the same internet connection. The planning value therefore increases with every active device.

Headroom

The advertised plan speed is not always the speed continuously available at the device. Headroom helps absorb fluctuations.
