A 4K (aka 2160p) video stream will actually use more like 20 megabits per second. Regardless, you are like us in that we have much more nominal bandwidth then we can use. Before I retired, I ran software projects from home and would move around 50 gigabyte tarballs. Then, more bandwidth was always a convenience but now our usage is dominated by 1 or 2 streams of video at typically 5 megabits per second per stream (1080p).

And we only subscribed to their 100 Mbps speed, which if you add up all the Mbps we are using per device, is FAR MORE CAPACITY than we could ever use. Considering a 4K tv signal may use 5 Mbps tops, all our devices may only use about 1/3 MAX of our 100 Mbps capacity. I will spend my money wisely. But that’s just me.
