Errrr no.

You literally need like 25Mbs to smoothly stream a 4k30fps video on "YOUTUBE". I know this for a fact cause my internet peaks at 30Mbs. The second I pick a 4k60fps video I start buffering and dropping frames while maxing out my connection speed. And this is pretty simple, if it takes 25Mbs to stream 4k at 30fps, going to 60fps is literally you doubling the data you are receiving in each second. 

So pls next time do a little research before you try and come at someone and sound smart and condescending.

That "codec" you talkabout is the only reason we're even getting bit rates as "low" as 50Mbs. If this was native 4K (UHD disc) it should be around 128Mb/s.

4k, 60Hz, 8 bit, Chroma 4:4:4 around 16Gbit/s uncompressed.

 

UHD disc : 4k, 24fps, 10bit, chroma 4:2:0 around 128mbit/s with codec H.265

 

Just for comparision.

Exactly, and google works their magic and further compresses that to sound 50Mbs for a 4k, 60fps stream. 

I see the majority of people playing  at 720p or 1080p and telling themselves they are playing at 4k/60fps.
