The problem is in the real world, you can't perfectly optimize prioritization. In theory, you can run 5 4k streams on 100Mb. However, in practice, real time data can get messed up.

Before switching to 1Gbps fiber, I had 100Mbps and I frequently noticed that Zoom would lag when 2 people were streaming at the same time. There were enough situations where 3 clients simultaneously needed more data that introduced latency.

That's poor management by your network hardware. (could be your modem, router, ISP, etc) I ran two zoom meetings on my 1.5MBit DSL connection before I got Starlink and it worked fine. Or I could run Netflix and a Zoom meeting. Never did try to push it much past that. But on 100mbps, there's something else wrong there that you can only get one more connection than my shitty DSL line lol.

100Mbps fiber, or 100Mbps non-fiber? Because that sounds like an upload limitation caused by a limit much smaller than 100 or even 20.

It's the incoming videos that stutter. Not the out going video.
