> 4Mbps is already plenty for HD movies and video teleconferencing

The last six years of my life have been consumed by work on video streaming services. While in a lab environment you would be correct, I can tell you that in the real world you are off by a factor of about 4, and will be off by a factor of about 8 for 4k video.

> Most places in the US had zero 4Mbps options 20 years ago, and now they have 5+.

I have no idea where you got that idea, unless you think wireless is a substitute for cable or DSL. It's not.
