Yes, 4K UHD is probably the "killer app" for faster broadband. I gather you need 20 to 25mbps of consistent throughput to stream 4K UHD reliably.

Essentially this means you need 30mbps or faster of speedtest speed - so my 50mbps seems to work well with Netflix and Amazon 4K content.

I think higher FTTC speeds matter can matter in households where lots of concurrent online activity may happen.

Don't buy a UHD tv.
Buy it but don't expect to stream anything to it.
Pay oodles to get FTTP.
Move house.
