That's correct, on Chrome data is capped 3.5MB/s (and 1.25MB/s at lowest quality) but you don't really need more as that's 12.6 GB of data per hour. Think about that in movies, not even a 4K movie in Netflix takes that bandwidth - it actually takes less than half of that! I have done several tests in different connections and the video quality is perfect, even if you had 10MB/s you wouldn't see any difference at all if resolution is restricted to 1080p. However there is a big caveat, there is a huge difference on having that 3.5MB/s with HDR or without, specially on dark games like metro, to the point that it looks horrible and the macro-blocks on dark scenes are terrible. I wouldn't be bothered about that cap honestly, I want to check if the 4K makes a difference actually as if a game runs a 1080p natively - and not many games run at higher than 1080p I think: you shouldn't see any difference between playing in a browser or a chromecast in the same 4k monitor as chrome should upscale to your monitor resolution.
