Bandwidth requirements by stream quality:

Quality	Bitrate	Minimum	Recommended
SD (480p)	1–3 Mbps	5 Mbps	10 Mbps
Full HD (1080p)	6–10 Mbps	15 Mbps	25 Mbps
4K HDR	15–25 Mbps	30 Mbps	50 Mbps

Stability matters more than peak speed. A 50 Mbps line with 5% packet loss buffers more than a stable 25 Mbps line. Run ping -c 100 [server-ip] to measure packet loss to your IPTV server.
