I was quite surprised how my FTC connection (3MB/s wifi, 7MB/s ethernet
download) copes - Netflix super-HD 4k streams without interruption, even
over wifi. Very occasionally, when rewinding say, the resolution drops
for a few seconds.


My FTC gives 70 Mbps down, 20 up on a cabled PC. Rather slower on Wi-Fi.


But the router is first generation BT FTC (two units) so wondered if a new
one would be faster. I often get 'your bandwidth is low' on Zoom meetings.
Don't have a problem with catch up TV or streamed stuff though, usually.


I suspect your slow signal is due to conjestion in the system rather than
your local end. We have the same speeds here and last week there were two
Zoom meetings going on at the same time - no problem.
