Take those low teen megabits and scale it through $x users in $y locations streaming $z content items. Consider that 15% of those $x users will take to the internet to complain about problems. Also consider that once you’re a big enough name, mainstream media will cover those complaints on slow news days. Finally consider that a large portion of budget goes into constantly maximizing x, y and z.
Thats where the engineering problem goes from trivial to extremely complicated. Lots and lots of people demanding a similar quality of service across a wide pool of content on a wide pool of devices.
And that doesn’t even fully cover last mile issues.
