Does anybody know an approx. file size of a 4K video and how much bandwidth it takes to stream?

I've read that streaming an HD episode on Netflix takes around double the size of bandwidth than it would to just "download" the episode.

As convenient as streaming is, there are many countries that doesn't have the luxury of having a large/unlimited bandwidth at an affordable price.

Of the uncompressed 4K movies I have they average 50+ Mbps. I have some files that are 100Mbps average. I know that Netflix recommends a 25mbps for 4k HDR streaming. That is a huge quality difference. Don't get me wrong, 4K HDR streaming looks amazing, but once you see an actual UHD clip uncompressed, it's just in another league.
