A couple of things. There isn't really much in the way of 4K programming material.
Rather than get phone service, use a Voice-over-IP phone service such as Ooma, Magicjacks, etc. for much lower cost or just use cell phones. Ooma runs me $3.50/month.
10 Mbits/sec is fine for most people. If you stream Netflix, you need 3-5 Mbits/sec for Hi-Def. Netflix apparently has some very limited 4K material and I understand you need something more like 20 MBits/sec for 4K. I pay about $45/month for CenturyLink 40 Mbits/sec. It is a bit of an overkill but I got a good deal and I do occasionally move 50 GByte files around for work.

Is that enough? Does that sound in the ballpark?? Direct TV did lie to us as everything is not broadcast in 4k yet (even though they told us yes it is). Just not sure who to turn to for house phone and internet?
