The 4k 60 fps bw requirement is just 35 Mbps, is there really catching up to do unless we're talking about mobile hotspots? Netflix 4k is 25 Mbps.

If everyone would use that bandwidth simultaneously, that can put huge loads on the net.

Imagine you suddenly have 3 kids. You would need to tell your least favorite kid that it needs to play outside because your connection is too slow.

"Back in 2020 I sometimes had to choose between playing video games at 1080p and going to play outside because my parents didn't want to subscribe to the 100 M net connection, you kids today don't know how tough we had it." "Really gramps? I know 1080p looks terrible but how could they threaten you with the outside?" "Well the outdoors was less of a scorched hellscape back then. "
