Hi everyone with all the 4K and Hi Res streaming in "real time" being recommended via subscription service I am still not convinced to take the plunge despite having the means to do so. I mostly download Hi Res Tracks and 'stream' them off-line or directly from my LAN to my DAC or to my home theater.
The reason being that despite having a Capped and Unshaped 100mbps Fibre line, the ISP or exchange still gets so congested due to the limitations of microwave in the chain that the speeds get so low at times I can't even load the Google home page nevermind stream Sh#$%t.
Any way around this?
The second part of my question is that some native 4K movies are 50Gb each or Quad DSD 1Gb a song, how do you manage to stream this in real time and at the same time claim there is no compression, if I can't even download content from the internet that fast? At least once it's downloaded I know my usb can handle 400 megabyte per second.
Below are some screenshots taken over a period of time as measured by Speedtest. Openserve aka Telkom owns and is the only backbone provider in my suburb and Afrihost is my ISP, although I am sure the ISP is nothing more than a reseller and can't really do anything for their customers.
