The problem isn't bandwidth.
It's when you just barely don't meet it just once during playback.
Then you get a cascade effect that kills it.
Which is why non-session streaming protocol is preferred.

It is mathematically impossible for someone who makes more than you
to be anything but richer than you.  Any tax rate that penalizes them
will also penalize you similarly (to those below you, and then below
them).  Linear algebra, let alone differential calculus or even ele-
mentary concepts of limits, is mutually exclusive with US journalism.
So forget even attempting to explain how tax cuts work.  ;->
