Although Hotstar doesn’t specifically list a minimum internet speed on its website, we can estimate based on what other streaming services say. For instance, Netflix recommends having at least a 5 Mbps connection to watch HD content. This is echoed by BBC iPlayer and NBC, so we can safely assume that this will be enough. Of course, reducing the video quality can bring your required speed down as low as 1.5 Mbps, so if you’re having trouble, it may be worth trying out standard definition playback.
