What wifi speed do i need for streaming

Having Buffering/Latency Issues?  The likely cause is poor sources in the app you are using.  Movie HD, Cartoon HD and Mega Box are the best options for zero latency viewing.

Here is a general guide for streaming:
1.0 - 2.3 Mb/s for Standard definition video
2.3 Mb/s - 4.5 Mbs for High definition 720p resolution video
4.5 Mb/s - 9 Mb/s for Full high definition 1080p resolution video and high definition audio
15 Mb/s is the minimum necessary for 4K streaming (25mb/s is preferred).

The average 720p 2 hour video is about 2 GBS.  In theory a 4.76 Mbps download would play this video.  You could double that for 1080p.
 Approximate megabytes: 2 GB = 2,144 MB (1 GB = 1024 MB)
Approximate megabits: 2,144 MB = 17,152 Mb (1 byte = 8 bits)
Number of seconds per hour calculation: 60 x 60 = 3,600
Megabits per hour calculation: 49,152 / 3,600 = 4.76 Mbps
