Default Download mps....how much is enough??

There always seems to be much emphasis on how fast download speeds are and the usual numbers are in the 50-60-100 mps range.

We are currently in the mountains of East TN, in the woods, in the valley by a lake. We have satellite internet (not Hughes).
Download speeds range 15 - 20 mps.

Surfing the internet, watching videos and streaming movies from Netflix and Amazon. Never a flicker or a buffering circle.

So how much is enough and why the emphasis on speeds 50 and above?
