> a single 4k stream can exceed that
I think this is an odd choice of a counter-example. Is 4k streaming a necessity or a luxury? How many people could even tell the difference in an A/B test between 4k and 1080p on their televisions at their viewing distances?

I agree that it's a good bump. Back to necessity vs luxury, how many people back up entire laptops (with or without a sense of urgency) and/or upload 4k video files?

Of course we are, unless it's delivered wirelessly. A huge percentage of last miles are relying on DSL over lousy POTS lines. I use DSL as a backup connection because cable is so unreliable for me, and the fastest I can get in a major metro area is 25-30Mb/s against AT&T's "Internet 50" plan.
