I work from home (software development, I am ssh'd into multiple remote systems all day and move some pretty big tarballs around) and stream to two TVs using Roku boxes. I have 40 megabit/sec and it is overkill. Netflix in HiDef only uses 5 megabits/sec. I suspect most people probably pay for more bandwidth than they need and may only have access to a portion of the bandwidth because of poor WiFi performance.

But then, maybe I won't be in such a hurry then!
