However, in Germany, you may not be able to convince yourself for a while, because Disney has reduced the transmission rate for precaution. This is to ensure that German internet connections remain stable. Especially since many people now rely on home offices and video chat with colleagues, a sudden increase in 4K streams can cause problems.
