The key to 4k is all fiber. If all companies go to all fiber, you'll be on your way, but still not there. Companies throttle down bandwidth CONSTANTLY because they are cheap.

Even the "720p" and "1080i" signals we currently received are still compressed to holy hell. Ever wonder why some NBA/NFL/MLB/NHL games look better than others? It depends on how much the signal is being compressed by the network and your provider.

Sometimes they are so pixelated, they are nearly unwatchable.

If you get a local game via an OTA antenna on NBC or something, you'll usually see a better picture. Still, the network can compress the signal and it will look like utter crap.
