It depends. If it were just me by myself maybe. I was working from home and my wife and my two sons were home. Both of my sons were playing online on their PlayStations (my older son bought his own) and my wife was streaming Netflix. 50/10 was unusable for work over a VPN.
We have since moved and now have gigabit internet up and down and usually get 930+ u/d wired and 250 u/d wireless. Our whole house is wired for gig-e. It's overkill.
The closest I ever get to using it is connecting to my job. In the middle of the night, I can get 80Mbps.
Even if we did stream 4K content at 15K - 50K we would be fine with 200Mbos.
