Streaming video services such as Netflix have modest bandwidth requirements. For example, 1080p Hi-Def from Netflix consumes about 3-5 megabits per second. 4K streaming from Amazon Prime consumes about 15 megabits per second. Modest internet bandwidth services, such as 40 megabits per second, is more than enough for streaming a couple of shows at the same time. My wife and I used to stream 1080p Netflix on two different sets with a 10 megabit per second service.

Comcast has apparently gotten better, likely due to more competition. Whatever you do, if you want to stream, don’t settle for less than 100Mbps service. Keep in mind that you will not get 100% of whatever Mbps you get 100% of the time.
