That’s… not a very fast connection. 85 gb in 8 hours is about 25 Mbps, streaming 4k is only about 15-25, so maybe 50 Mbps total? The cheapest tier offered in my area is 100 Mbps. Gigabit is quickly becoming the standard.

But it’s always “up to” those speeds, at least where I’m at. I pay for gigabit but I’d say I probably average half that, depending on what time of day. The way they’re allowed to advertise speeds is such a scam.

Sure, but if OP had gigabit and it maxed out at 500 Mbps, that 85 GB download would take 25 minutes. Mid tier is advertised as 500, so assuming an average of 250, that’s still less than an hour while streaming in 4k.
