Do you use a VPN? I downloaded a random movie a few years ago and got the email from my cable company stating something along the lines of “we recently notice a download of blah blah blah was detected on our network. Please call to re activate your Internet”. So I called and told them “I just got my son a computer I didn’t know you could download movies”
But laying for a VPN will cost as much as a streaming service and it’s so slow. And I guarantee sooner or later VPNs won’t even work in a few years (meaning your ip could be backtracked to the original computer)
I just did a speedtest over wifi and got 530 down / 260 up with 45ms ping. I connected to a server a few states away and also got about the same with the closest server. I do have gigabit fiber though
Speed doesn’t matter too much, if you use a cheap spare computer off Craigslist to download your stuff. Just download what you want to watch ahead of time. Plus, you get near 100% uptime on seeding

The best, most reputable VPN, Mullvad costs $5 USD. Plenty are cheaper than that if you pay in advance for a few years.
The cheapest streaming service will roughly double that.
How fast is it?
When I had Mulkvad my speed test would go from about 335mbit to like 327mbit when connected to a somewhat close server.
Connected to servers across the ocean it’d be like 310.
They got a money-back guarantee if you don’t pay with something completely anonymous like cash in the mail.

I have gig fiber as well but my modem is not rated for it. So I pull, hardlined, around 300mbs down lol.
Never ran a speedtest. Fast enough
I use proton vpn
