It=E2=80=99s not just about the transfer rate, though.
As has been noted, response times at peak congestion are definitely =
faster if you have more bandwidth.
So if you=E2=80=99ve got 3 kids all wanting to stream different HD5k =
content, 50Mbits is going to get interesting.
100Mbps will probably handle it with enough of a jitter buffer. 10G you =
can probably play instant on
and let the jitter buffer build while playing the first few seconds.
There are a number of other tactics that can improve user experience =
with more bandwidth than is needed
for the long-term average.
Average transfer rate is a silly way to measure anticipated user =
experience, as has been pointed out by
others.
