It's not far off unlimited cinema tickets or railway season passes - the general assumption is not everyone will be using it all the time. Bus companies would go out of business if all season ticket holders were using the bus 24 hours a day...

Indeed, Netflix "ultra HD" or in my view, bog standard what-HD-should-have-been-right-from-the-beginning streams on average around 12Mbps and so saying you should have a 15Mbps connection isn't far off. That said the UK average isn't far off that either, so it won't be long before most people can stream the highest quality widely available stream, but still doesn't mean anywhere near everyone will be doing it simultaneously.
