Its enough to stream 4k compressed

no it isn't.

I'll second this. 4k at 25 mbps might be OK for a sitcom or drama without much action or on-screen movement. But as soon as there's any action, it's gonna be a pixelated mess. 25 mbps is kinda the sweet spot for full fidelity 1080p, and I'd much rather watch that than "4K".

He means a 4k reel of just darkness. Could probably do it at a few hundred FPS and still have some bandwidth to spare.

4k netflix requires 15 megabit: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/13444
