42Mbps: the SLR Speedtest median streaming bandwidth

doublevr

with over 90% of users reaching at least 8 Mbps
It’s getting better over time - from 32 Mbps in 2022 to 42 Mbps in 2025

doublevr lol. still very low for vr 5k+ videos. for example you need at least 150+ mbps for 8k videos encoded with h.265 or av1 as I read from video experts articles to be of good or passable quality.

doublevr hope it keeps improving 👍. Weird thing is I get better speeds when using DEOVR on Q3 with a VPN. I average around 40 with the VPN and max quality for all scenes seems to work very well.

the higher the bitrate the larger the file size. video quality is more important than file size in this day and age. we are not living in the 90's anymore.

english is not my native language, yet I struggle to understand your statement no matter how I translate it in my mind to get the actual meaning behind it, it does not make sense. what do you mean by your statement please?

So if streaming speeds are going up then why is video bitrate not as well?
