The 200 megabits per second up and down service from QuantumFiber is more than enough to stream. 1080p Hi-Def video consumes about 5 megabits per second of bandwidth per stream. 2160p (aka 4k) consumes about 20 megabits per second of bandwidth per stream. Unless you are moving around large files (say 50 gigabytes or more), 200 megabits per second is more than enough. We have the QuantumFiber 200 megabit service and it is easily 10 times more bandwidth than we consume. It is the sweet spot in their pricing. I believe many people sign up for more bandwidth than they require.
