Internet Speed Requirements
| Video Quality | Minimum Speed | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| SD (480p) | 5 Mbps | 10 Mbps |

| 4K Ultra HD | 25 Mbps | 50 Mbps |
Most Canadian internet plans (Bell Fibe 50, Rogers Ignite 75, Shaw 150) are more than adequate. For the best results, use a wired ethernet connection during important games — it eliminates packet loss that causes brief freezing during overtime.
