It should be fine, I have 18-20, & for the past three months I’ve had it. Only had 14-18 pause/stutters and it lasted for less than 10 seconds with the 4K version. Regular tv isn’t worth it imo.

My internet speed was 18 mps, then I upgraded to 100 mps. When I upgraded my internet speed, I still had buffering issues. After I switched from Roku to Apple TV, my buffering issues went away.

Hello,

Amazon recommends 15 mbps and Netflix recommends 25. If you constantly get those speeds, it might be ok, though not optimal. Also, if you have other devices hooked up, it will slow it down. Email and apps count too. 

However, even if you have an unlimited plan, check again because one 4K video is around 7 gigabytes, and most unlimited plans cap out at 10-15 before they start slowing your speed. They call it unlimited since they still give you internet, but they slow it down to a crawl. Hope this helps.
