Interesting. I've not noticed this (yet) and use Fast.com extensively for benchmarking as I find the results from SpeedTest to be too variable for my liking,
If true, I would potentially be impacted in a different way. My kids use my MR1100 in the car to stream video content. Certainly they don't need (or could use) 4K on their iPads. But, my concern is that if all video is capped at 10Mb/s then if you have two or three tablets all trying to stream simultaneously you could potentially get some buffering.
10MB/s per stream would be okay with me. But 10Mb/s per device would suck.
I'm fortunate enough to have FIOS at my house and 4K as well. While 4K is very nice, 4K streaming (Netflix 15Mb/s, and Amazon -- not sure what their stream is probably more like 20Mb/s as their compression codecs aren't as good as Netflix) is a poor way to do 4K.
Subscribe to DVD.com (I do -- have since Netflix began) and get HD and 4K Blue Rays and a nice 4K Blue ray player (I have a Sony). Even the BlueRay HD content looks WAY BETTER on my 4K screen than Netflix 4K.
I realize, of course, that DVD.com is slow, even slower when you're in the sticks.
But at least you'd have some sweet resolution and Dolby Atmos action.
