DVD quality stream: 3 mbps
1080p HD stream: 5 mbps
4k UHD stream: 25 mbps


Local cable provider Internet packages: 60,150, 250, 2000 mbps for $30, $90, $120, and $300 respectively.


While there are certainly exceptions for large families or a group of friends who happen to stream video games for a living, most people pay way too much for Internet.

I don't know where pretty good fits in there, but I'm happy, and lowered my bill $45
