What broadband speed do you need for Netflix?
Netflix says you need 5 Mbps to stream full HD content and a data rate of 25 Mbps (megabits per second) for 4K Ultra HD content. However, you’ll want even faster speeds, such as those provided over the Magnet+ fibre network, if you plan to connect several devices at once.
What broadband speed do you need for live streaming?
For good quality live streams, 1,500 Kbps-4,000 Kbps is recommended for YouTube Live video. LinkedIn recommends 5 Mbps upload speed for live streams with a max resolution of 720p. At 720p, Twitch recommends 4,500 Kbps for 60 or 50 fps and 3,000 Kbps for 25 or 30 fps.

Netflix Internet Service Provider Speed Index
The Netflix Internet Service Provider Speed Index is a monthly comparison of the main operators in Ireland and how the quality level of their network affects speed and streaming.
This ranking shows that areas served by the Magnet+ network ranked the fastest internet service provider by Netflix. This was the fourth month in a row that Magnet+ ranked #1.
Unfortunately, the Magnet+ network no longer qualifies for inclusion in the Netflix speed index report. We still have hyper-fast fibre broadband – that hasn’t changed!
