Thanks. Why is 100Gb not much?

A 4K film can easily top 100GB.  Compression might bring it down a bit, but one would still eat a sizeable chunk of your allowance.

According to eg. this site you'll need 25Mbps, which is 11GB/hr.

Edit:and I've checked my Disney+ account, that states 4.2GB/hr for 4K:

A 4K film can easily top 100GB. I stand by that.  I didn't say streamed and I did say that compression would bring it down.

So why mention it at all in the context of a broadband connection with limited data allowance?

Because I don't know if the OP really knows what streaming vs downloading is?

Most people would consider downloading a movie to be streaming, but if you were to download an uncompressed 4K movie you'd be looking at 50-100GB.

It's also rather irrelevant to look at one providers streaming figures and assume that applies to everyone, and 4.2GB per hour is hardly chicken feed.  And if the OP has a PC connected that auto-updates etc etc that 100GB could run out fast.

It was simply a warning that they need to be careful and not assume that 100GB is enough.  As per usual the peanut gallery chips in and argues the sky is red.
