When we stream 4k video from Netflix for example, they recommend a minimum speed of 25 mbps.But HDMI 2.0 has a bandwidth of 18.0 Gbit/s
How can we recieve 4k video with a connection speed of only 25 mbps when we need 18.0 Gbit/s to send the video to our TV?
I think it is to do with compressed vs raw 4k but do we really compress it to this an extreme? I would have thought this would result in so much loss that we are no where near 4k in the end.

The speed for HDMI 2.0 is the max throughput, not the minimum throughput. Anything less than 18.0 gbps can be effectively transmitted through an HDMI 2.0 connection. 25 mbps is much less than 18 gbps (18 gbps is 18000 mbps).
