How many mbps do I need for streaming Hulu, Netflix, and youtube, or watching a video?

This varies depending upon the device you are using to stream and how many devices your household uses. Industry standards say that for a standard HD stream, you need 8 mbs or above per streaming device. For 4K TVs and beyond, the recommendation is 25 mbs/stream.
