Not exactly. You will use about 3-5 megabits per second bandwidth for 1080p Hi-Def. 4K (2160p) streaming via a source such as Netflix will consume 15-20 megabits per second bandwidth. I agree that for the vast majority of people, something around 20 megabits per second download bandwidth is more than enough.

If you run a "Server" function, maybe.
For normal streaming, it takes about 3 Meg per device for typical 4K video.
Comcast's basic 28 Meg service for $20 Mo will accomodate several devices simultaneously streaming.

YMMV
