I am confused, as the link appears to say the opposite.

>The majority of 4K movies (75%) I tested have bitrates over 100 Mbps and many seconds where bitrates spiked over 100 Mbps. Some have 100s of seconds where bitrate spikes over 100 Mbps, and will most certainly cause problems if played with bandwidths less than 100 Mbps on devices that don't buffer well such as the LG TV or Roku TV. To make sure you get the best experience without any buffering or transcoding on such devices, you need to make sure you have a bandwidth that exceeds at least 150 Mbps to play most 4K movies properly. Ideally, it should be higher than 200 Mbps.

The highest average bandwidth shown was 73 mbps. You probably need 150mbps to comfortably play 1 4k move, but once you are looking at the effect 4k movies have on higher bandwidths, average bandwidth becomes more relevant. You could pretty easily stream 10 4k movies over a 1gbps channel since the odds that all of them will be over 100mbps at the same time is low (and even if it happens briefly, it will be handled by buffering).

"If" is doing some heavy lifting there.

The linked post shows that the average bitrate of every sampled 4k movie was less than 75 Mbps. The author even bolded "on devices that don't buffer well such as the LG TV or Roku TV"
