Hey @Maturin,
Thank you for your idea. We did consider this when we launched, but not for the bandwidth, just to reduce the amount of equipment installed. The case is, we don't lack any bandwidth at all. Our streaming infrastructure has much more bandwidth in reserve and we never experience problems because of the lack of bandwidth. We at VHTV may experience problems when some of server equipment fails somewhere in our nodes which located in different countries. But basically, no, we don't need more bandwidth, as some of our viewers like to say.
The reason for lags for some of users is their ISP connection and connection reliability between their ISP servers and our data-centers. The second option for that is that their connection is... shitty. Our single stream takes about 1.6mbs for end-user. So if end-user's connection speed is around1.5-5mbps, that would be not enough, considering background processes on PC, other streams, web browsing, Spotify, etc. That applies to some of states in US and Australia clients. For them we're preparing something great to give them a chance to enjoy VHTV even with bad internet connection they have, or if you're on cellular connection wherever you are. Hopefully, we will introduce these changes by the end of this year.
