By the way, [MENTION=8386]JANARIOO[/MENTION] -- how is your 4K streaming experience on a 20Mbps connection, how long does it take to hit 4K once you start streaming and does it stay at 4K constantly throughout the stream or it drops to 1080p if there's load? Have you tried watching couple of episodes or movies without any other load on your connection but only Netflix to see if 4K stays consistent once it moves to 4K when streaming?

And this 20Mbps connection is from PTCL or some other ISP?
Transworld which I just got as well :D :3

Lanat, lol. I recently got back to Pak and found out about updated packages in my area, PTCL updated my 8Mbps connection to 20Mbps over a VDSL connection. To this date, I'm still waiting for a GPON connection to arrive from them but sadly, nothing yet. I'm back and forth here but I think 30Mbps over VDSL could work here as well, not sure. Here's the current speed right now. Are there any words about TES coming to Bahria as well or nah?

No word from them on that. For now, they going to cover DHA2 (it is already covered with GPON to an extent) and then DHA1.

But you never know ;)

Spoiler: show
3k for a 30mbps symmetric connection, can't ask for anything more given the sad state of PTCL here in DHA

That's amazing, would love for them to come over here as well. Gonna start bugging TES from now on until they're here, lol. Do let me know if you hear any news regarding TES coming over to Bahria, please.

Not every content on netflix is 4k, and secondly if you are watching on a (4k)TV, there's no any thing written or displayed that whether it is running 4k or 2k or 1080p or 720p content. And today's TVs have good upscaling capabilities, 1080p content is as good on 4k tv (upscaled) as 4k content afaik.

I think I'm gonna cancel my DSL subscription. Fuck PTCL for giving 20mb to some people and 8mb to others for the same price.

Any 4G devices that can work as a replacement?

That's the case with most streaming services, no option to change resolution. You have to rely on adaptive resolution.
And there's a chance you were actually streaming a title with max 480p resolution. Not everything on Iflix is in HD.

Iflix is shit as compared to netflix. It doesnt have Full HD support as of yet. There maybe some 720p res titles, but mostly 480p, as far as i think.
And no, there's no any option of selecting res in any streaming service.

I have the 4K service. The Pakistani Netflix is pretty much useless and only shashka. It contains less than 25% of the content that the US Netflix has. I use Express VPN to access US Netflix. It's quite hit and miss. There was a time when it could reliably stream at 720p, but recently it has become a little unreliable.

If I really want to watch a show in 4K HDR, I just turn VPN off and stream it directly. Works perfectly fine.
