IMO, wild overestimate. People don’t watch movies that often.

How much bandwidth is one movie? How much time would you have to spend on sites like this to equal one movie? One YouTube video of a few minutes can equal all of a day of regular surfing.

One source said a Netflix movie is about 3.6 Mbps. The article was talking *peak* loads, iirc. Maybe movie use is very peaky? That I do not know. I’d suspect it to be a little peaky, but not so much.
