You need about 5 megabits per second per stream for Hi-Def and 20 megabits per second per stream for 4K. For most people, anything more than about 50 megabits per second nominal download speed is overkill. Paying for more bandwidth than you need is a waste of money. Of course, the minimum offered, typically way in excess of what you need, is the lowest you can go but going beyond that is a waste of money..

But in addition to getting faster internet if you install a NAS then having a faster switch in the LVP is probably a good idea. I've actually upgraded my network to 10Gbs in my home myself, just because.
