Well your HD streams are very compressed and possibly downsized resolution.

People DO want 4K 60 fps uncompressed streams, but there is just no way to support them all at once.

It looks like Netflix is claiming 4k at 25Mb/s (at their standard degraded quality). So we'll need more bandwidth in the future, but I don't even have anything in my house that can display 4k anyways so I'm not too concerned.
