Watching the World Cup Online
The Qatar 2022 World Cup kicks off on Sunday, November 20th and can be followed on various platforms. In this article, we want to make it easier for you to access it online from wherever you are.
To watch the World Cup online, some platforms recommend a speed of 100 Mbps, but we think they have erred on the side of caution, as typically even the most demanding streaming with UHD 4K resolution can work with a connection of about 25 to 30 Mbps.
If you want to make the most of your connection to watch the World Cup, we recommend you take a look at the Plastic Optical Fiber kits (we leave you the link).
