I know America isn't the rest of the world, but the state with the lowest average household internet speed is Alaska at 58.6 mbps. Obviously a streaming service can't expect all their customers to have this kind of high-speed internet, but dynamically changing video quality on the fly to meet bandwidth limitations is a problem they all solved a very long time ago. It is not unreasonable for Netflix to offer such high bitrate streams to customers with the bandwidth for it. As for hardware, pretty much any hardware h.264 decoder made in the last decade should have no problem with blu-ray spec AVC streams.
