That or is there no way to do this reliably ?
 
Personally I don’t really care about 4k streaming on a mobile device at the moment but I do watch HD (1080p) content over cellular often on my iPP either through YouTube, Netflix or YouTubeTV. I’m on Verizon unlimited plan.

What’s your issue specifically?

I am trying to stream a 4k video file movie over cellular 4g lte from my computer to my iPad without buffering.
 
Is it true 4g lte and 5 g is only good for fast speeds in bursts and not constantly ? :(
 
I’ve streamed 1080p reliably over 4G LTE on T-Mobile and also tried TruPhone (they use the T-mo network but are way cheaper) for wireless data but make sure you’re truly uncapped for data or the bill will murder you

Didn’t know the iPad of any sort supported 4K viewing. 🤔

Anyway, to view 4K iirc, an average of 30Mbps is needed. Don’t know of any carrier that can reliably provide that unless you live under a tower.
