1080p Hi-Def streaming only uses approximately 5 megabits per second of download bandwidth per stream. 2160p (aka 4k) only uses approximately 20 megabits per second of download bandwidth per stream. Before retiring, I used to move around 50 gigabyte tar balls and the 80 megabits per second were useful for that. For streaming 2 TVs at the same time, 80 megabits per second is more than enough. I suspect most people pay for much more bandwidth than they can use.
