⚡ Quick answer: A single stable 4K stream needs at least 25 Mbps. Every plan includes 4K where the source channel supports it, and anti-freeze technology adjusts quality automatically to help prevent buffering.
4K is included on every plan, not gated behind a higher tier — but actually getting a stable 4K picture depends on your connection and device as much as the subscription itself.
What Your Connection Needs
At least 25 Mbps for a single stable 4K stream, with headroom above that recommended rather than treated as a hard ceiling — see our full internet speed guide for the complete breakdown by resolution.
Not Every Channel Is 4K
Stream quality depends on what the original broadcast supports — channels are available in 4K UHD, Full HD, or HD depending on the source, not uniformly across the entire lineup.
How Anti-Freeze Technology Helps
Rather than forcing a fixed 4K bitrate regardless of your connection's current conditions, anti-freeze technology adjusts quality automatically to reduce the chance of buffering — useful specifically because 4K has the least bandwidth headroom of any quality tier.
