Not exactly. You need approximately 5 megabits per second of bandwidth to stream 1080p. You need approximately 20 megabits per second to stream 2160p (aka 4K). I don't have to Google it; I actually measured it. As I already stated, I believe most people are paying for bandwidth in excess of what they require. FYI, I do know people who are happy with their 5G cellular internet service. I suspect performance is location dependent. I am perfectly happy with QuantumFiber so I wouldn't entertain it.

We get Comcast 75M for $35.. Far more than adequate for streaming multiple shows and camera feeds.
Only 20M required to stream HD content (Google it).
Those thinking they need more are mostly misinformed. (Again, Google it)
