Default 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.

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.

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