I am on CL Fiber (Gpon) 40 meg package. I should have Zero problems streaming UHD from Netflix.
Netflix's requirements are:
"A TV compatible with Ultra HD streaming from Netflix.
A plan that supports streaming in Ultra HD. You can check which plan you're currently on at www.netflix.com/ChangePlan.
A steady Internet connection speed of 25 megabits per second or higher.
Streaming quality set to "High." More information about video quality settings can be found in our Playback Settings article."
My TV is Netfilx capable. Samsung HU8550 65 inch. I sub to the netflix UHD service and sub to a plan over 25 megs. In fact, 40 megs should be more than enough to handle UHD plus any additional overhead from web surfing youtube video viewing, ect. Majority of the time when I am watching UHD there is no additional overhead.
What I notice that happens quite often the quality will drop to 480P for 3-5 min and then jump in between 720 and 1080P. Sometimes It will just stay at 1080P. Other times it will make the jump up to 2160 into UHD. The issue is that it's not consistent where it should be. On top of that when I had Cox I never had this issue. It went up to 2160 every time without any issues. This is really frustrating. I am on fiber and shouldn't be having any issues like this.
Edit: This happens quite often peak hours 3-10 pm.
