Even the highest-bitrate 4K streaming takes 90hours/month. If you have a family of screen-locked people never leaving home and constantly consuming more input that their senses can possibly absorb, maybe it's OK to pay a little mo

1TB is 3hrs/day of the highest-bandwidth 4K streaming Netflix at 25Mbps. The other streamers ask for even lower bitrate.
