Hi-Def (aka 1080p) requires about 5 megabits per second per stream. 4k (aka 2160p) requires about 20 megabits per second. per stream. We used to stream Netflix to 2 TVs simultaneously without issues at full 1080p resolution with a nominal 10 megabits per second internet bandwidth. Most people have more than an order of magnitude more internet bandwidth than they require. This, of course, can't be avoided because the lowest tier of service by most providers is several hundred megabits per second. I have noticed an attempt by providers to upsell customers to even higher nominal bandwidths at higher prices. Most people don't have a good handle on what they actually need.
