Why Speed Matters When It Comes to Online Video Downloaders

Long gone are the days of dial-up internet connections and that excruciating noise the modem made to announce your arrival to the worldwide web, as you sat there, patiently waiting for a JPEG to reveal itself one pixel at a time. Nowadays, we’re lucky enough to have a huge range of video and audio content available to us in shining HD quality on a variety of streaming services. 

Unfortunately, some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) haven’t caught up — internet speeds in the USA rank way outside of the top 10 in the world, with South Korea topping the list. So is 15.3 Mbps really enough to experience the highest quality video and audio?

As the table below shows, if you want to download and watch videos in 4K quality it is recommended to have at least 20 Mbps of sustained speed.

Video resolutionRecommended sustained speed
8K (4320p)100 Mbps
4K (2160p)20 Mbps
HD 1080p5 Mbps
HD 720p2.5 Mbps
SD 480p1.1 Mbps
SD 360p0.7 Mbps
SD 240p< 0.5 Mbps
SD 144p< 0.5 Mbps
