It'll be variable, depending on the content, platform, your internet speeds, their server load, etc. There seems to be no list of the various streaming sites, most of the numbers people have are specifically for Netflix. Apple TV is supposedly the highest, but again no numbers. Here's someone who broke down the Netflix numbers, they vary wildly:聽
