The BBC has announced that there will be access to world cup matches in 4k/HDR via iPlayer

The interest for me was the estimate that a 40Mbit/s broadband connection is required to get the full fat feed....
Back in the UK, I had had FttC for a number of years and was able to get 38Mbit/s. (I was a few hundred metres from the street cabinet at the point where each extra metre starts to have a real affect on your bandwidth).
Minsters are fond of describing our country as having "World class broadband" and we see often see broadband definitions starting at 2Mbit/s for those in tricky rural areas. My 38Mbit/s in the UK, was always plenty for a family of 4, but now I guess one can argue that 40Mbit/s is the new base level requirement looking forward.
Cheers
