It has been suggested to me that typical high resolution files available for streaming, e.g., Qobuz or Tidal require a minimum download bandwidth of 25Mbps to 30Mbps. How is that bandwidth requirement determined? What concerns are in order when bandwidth drops (for example, to 15Mbps to 20Mbps) on a given day or at periods of time during actual streaming? Is a minimum bandwidth limit at least somewhat arbitrary? What role do buffer settings play in Qobuz/Tidal in relation to necessary bandwidth demand?
Regarding consistency and reliability of bandwidth/signal for streaming, which "internet/data provider" do you prefer, and why? What problems or concerns have you encountered with your provider?
Thanks in advance for your opinions and experiences.
