Not only do you have to look at how your husband uses the internet for work, you have to look at the TV service you get to see how much bandwidth it uses, both upload and download.
Consider these options:
ALL of your slower speed networks (600 or less) have a data cap and it can either get expensive or the provider will cut back on your speed until the end of the month. All of these COPPER networks (all except fiber) have decent download speeds (up to 1Gb) but have terrible upload speeds. 600Mb or less have 10-20Mb upload speeds while my 1Gb speed has up to 40Mb, which is very slow.
When looking at any streaming service, consider who many concurrent tv shows will you be recording because each 1 will eat away at your upload bandwidth. So if you are recording 2 or 3 hi def channels at once and your husband wants to upload a file to the office, your husband will be waiting. When I look at all the streaming services that are out there, none of them meet our needs. Most can record many at once but they eat up bandwidth on the network and the recordings either have a short life (up to 6 or 9 months then they are deleted), or there are caps like only able to record x amount of shows. On my system, I have 1 off recordings that I have had for a decade still on my dvr.
Plus, these streaming companies never have everything you want so you end up getting multiple streaming companies.
I also stream hi resolution music that I can route to every room in my house. We use Apple 4k TV devices that allows us to download apps to access many different channels like YouTube, Selkirk Pickleball, Peacock, HBO, Paramount+, Netflix, disney, and many more.
Plus I can stream music thru the Apple TV boxes.
We get Netflix, paramount+, and Apple TV+ services for free from out cell phone provider, we have Peacock thru the Xfinity provider, and then I pay for my regular TV which gives us 250 channels for sports, shows, and primetime shows.
