In a single video stream? 1080p uses 10mbps max. Are you japanese or do you have 4k/8k[1] equipment from the future? :)

No, but the topic was network testing more than anything realistic. I missed the point, essentially. YouTube does have some 4K video though, which probably does hit that sort of bitrate.

10 Mbps is a good estimate considering modern video codecs, but it's not the upper bound. 1080p video at 32bpp and 60 fps could use as much as 3 Gbps, depending on the compression.

I won't doubt you, but HEY if you could send a link, I could use a VPS that has that kinda of pipeline for that price :)
