bit rate differences on Netflix packages 1080p

[movingtables]

I hope i can ask this question properly.
I have a 4k tv and understand that the more expensive 4k package
allows you to watch 4k content with a higher bit rate (i know Netflix have crippled all their bit rates)

BUT... if i had the 4k package and watched full HD content will i get a higher bit rate than on the lower Full HD package or is the bit rate capped on HD ?

thanks.

Can't answer that one but it all looks **** if you have a half decent 4K display. I end up watching quite a lot of shows on my 1440p monitor as it hides the compression artefacts and banding in dark colours

yeah its the artifacts and banding in dark scenes i was trying to improve. i have done a lot of tweaking on my tv that has improved it but i was just curious if the 4k package upped the bit rate on HD content.
we'll have to wait to see if anyone else knows

Am sure my netflix 4k used to max out at 16Mbps

I just looked now and the first thing i tried showed 18.23Mbps

it does differ from tv show to tv show. i remember watching season 1 of house of cads at 25Mbps
but on the whole they are re-encoding all content to use a lower bitrate in UK?EUROPE. oddly not USA. maybe its coz they have guns
