sm1ff: Neon has told me it has a maximum bitrate of 1800 kbps and in HD.
I have so far refused to sign up to it and cannot comment on its service quality as I have seen many many comments everywhere on the internet that it's very poor.
I also download content that neon has the rights to only because I can get usually at least 10mb/s bitrate at full 1080p and it includes 5.1 surround sound. This is often with the label AMZN.
NEON's max bitrate is actually ~5800kbps for 1080p quality, especially for titles like GoT.
Has anyone done any tests? That seems awfully high. If so has that changed recently?
I streamed GoT last season via Neon and it definitely wasn't that high a bitrate. I would imagine it would be close to the 1800 Kbps that the previous poster mentioned. It was full of heavy macro blocking. The sound was quite poor, definitely not the 640 Kbps that you get from Amazon Video.
I decided to "acquire" some Amazon Prime rips which have a bitrate of around 7200 Kbps. If Neon is getting close to that like you say, then I will be signing up again, as there are plenty of other great shows too which I would like to watch.
