The bandwidth is important for high-quality video streaming, as sending large amounts of video and audio data over the Internet requires large data transfer with a maximum transfer rate. The higher quality video uses more bandwidth than lower quality video. Any long-term disruption of Internet services related to bandwidth, latency, and network reliability can limit the quality of video/audio streaming and thereby halt the growth of the content streaming market.
