How much bandwidth for Ultra HD streams?

What is the general consensus on how much bandwidth is needed for Ultra HD streams? I have heard 15 Mbps is enough. Truth or fallacy?

This article says only 21% of homes in the US have enough bandwidth to stream 4k UHD. :sigh:

I get some 4K content via DirectV and it sure looks good.

What internet speed are you getting from your provider Jim?

Very good Jim! I have Xfinity Blast with a wireless router so about 160-190mbps right next to it in the office and by the time it hits the basement, it's only 35mbps. May have to do something about that. :scratch2:

We have Comcast Xfinity blast as well and streaming 4K here has never been a problem at all.
