The same, why would netflix allocate more bandwidth which would cost them money? I know people with gigabit and obscenely huge 4k displays and netflix looks just as bad there as it looks at my parents place with a 16MBit broadband connection. In fact, it looks a bit better there because their 1080p screen doesn't have as much contrast and is much smaller so the bad quality is concealed.


If you get the $9.99/mo plan and just hook it to a 4k display with gigabit, then no I wouldn't expect improvement. I'm asking how it looks if you pay Netflix twice as much for the "Premium Ultra HD (4K)" plan. I certainly would expect them to allocate more bandwidth if you're paying them double to get the stream they say is higher quality.
