hi, first post, gorgeous place, nice to meet you!
didn't find Subject in this section (pls be lenient if i was just too dumb..).
i'm getting an F series tv soon and already downed the e-manual to find that not only is the use of a cat 7 cable recommended for wired connection (required!?) but, and this is what bugs me more, it says the following there:
"The TV will not be able to connect to the Internet if the network speed is below 10Mbps."
since i'm only having 4Mbps here in my area, will i not be able to use the Smart functionality of the set - can that be true?
will def see when it's delivered, but am a bit worried already..
any advice? - thx heaps in advance :!:

Samsung recommends cat7 cable with their crappy 100mbit network card? :lol:
"The TV will not be able to connect to the Internet if the network speed is below 10Mbps."
They're probably talking about smooth access to their unuseful "services" such as 3D videos and so on, but you will be able to do what you can expect of 4mbps...
Don't worry ;)
