In most cases the minimum is 10Mbps for HD quality streams for NetFlix. If you are buffering while watching YouTube or NetFlix you might need a higher speed connection or different ISP.
Can we have multiple people watching NetFlix at the same time ?
Yes, most streaming services allows two or more concurrent connection. It usually depends on your package with them.
It really depends on what you like to watch ? Showmax has more local content than NetFlix, but Netflix has a vastly greater international selection.
Q: Can I watch NetFlix (USA) with a VPN ?
Although it is possible, it is not recommended since it is against their terms and conditions.
Q: How much data does streaming a movie requires ?
This will depend on the quality settings of your streaming setup. For FULL HD it will use about 1.5 GB per hour and 0.9GB for 720p (half hd). In contrast for SD (Standard video 480p) you are looking at about 0.7GB per hour. YouTube is very configurable and let you choose your resolution anywhere from 240p to 4K
Q: Do I need a "smart tv" for streaming movies ?
No, many of the streaming services comes with an Apple or Android App as well. So you can watch just on your phone or you can "cast" the stream to your TV if you have a "Google ChromeCast Device".
Q: What is a good movie recommendation service ?
Have a look at WePickFlix.com - They let you get movie recommendations for a group of people, like families or couples.
