The WiFi cameras don't consume any internet bandwidth unless you are accessing them remotely. They may impact your overall network performance if you are running a high frame rate and high resolution but the current 802.11ac routers support a lot of network traffic. Streaming 1080p video consumes about 5 megabits of internet bandwidth. 4K consumes about 20 megabits per second per internet bandwidth. Web surfing, e-mail, etc. are pretty light on bandwidth.

Of course, we are not using all of them at the same time, but the cameras are always on and when we watch TV we mostly use AppleTV and are messing around on our iPads at the same time. I think all of the other ISPs offer at least 100Mbs as their basic plan. With the way most of use the internet today, and the devices we have, you would want 100Mbs minimum.
