That's like two people streaming high def TV at the same time.

No way, that would be 6.25 MB/s for tv. For a two hour movie that would be 50GB. Is a 4k movie really 50GB?

I have a number of movies (about 100-ish titles) in my library that are well above 50Mbps.

Back to the future (1989) as an example is 72.24 GB in my library.

Depends on the quality. YouTube 4k is about 25mbit/s, so that's 3-4 4k YouTube videos playing at the same time on a 100Mb/s connection.

4k Blu-Rays OTOH can be about 50GB or larger even. You wouldn't ordinarily stream that but you could stream one or two blu-rays with a 100Mb/s connection.

100Mbit/s is plenty for current use-cases.
