Faster is OK up to 'bottleneck'. When UHD movies are sent and MINIMALLY compressed, you will NEED 50mb service. Or maybe faster. Perhaps a 15% 'guard band' OVER and ABOVE your greatest anticipated use rate would be advisable. Of course, 'they' compress the heck out of everything and so even so-called HD quality is only marginally better than a good DVD from your home player.
Based on bit-rate of my ALAC files, I'd say to stream them you'd only need 5mb or less. My old 3mb DSL line would probably work.
As for QoS? As long as I have as close to ZERO downtime as technologically possible, the only thing better would be a pleasant voice at the OTHER end of the 'help line phone service'.

Follow Ups:
We have nearly a dozen devices in the house that COULD be communicating via the internet at any given time.
3 computers, 2 cell phones, 2 iPads, 2 SONOS player, a Marantz NA player and a Roku TV.
Likely forgot something. And we're 'OLDS' with no kids in the house.
Streaming Lossless FLAC via QOBUZ using the supplied OS-X player, I can see the track load into the cache as the music plays. Before we got U-Verse we were limited to 6 Mbps due to ancient phone lines out here at Ocean Beach. That was not fast enough to stream Lossless FLAC consistently.
Now?
Seven minute Lossless FLAC track loads in 11 seconds!
Just curious how you stream quobuz if you are in the states-thought that streaming service was not available in the states?
We live a month or two a year in France and I signed up while over there. I pay in Euors using PayPal.
Ahhh:-) any sq differences between tidal and quobuz that you notice if you have compared the two?
where someone posted a link that suggested that the record labels were putting some kind of sonic fingerprint onto the data files they sent to the streaming services and they subject of the link was TIDAL.
I heard such a 'warbling' on one track when playing from TIDAL but surprisingly not when streaming the same track from QOBUZ.
Go figure.
I mostly stream obscure classical stuff, things hard to find on CD, which QOBUZ has the edge on. That said, QOBUZ is close to insolvent and sometimes has certain labels in the catalog and then a week later they do not play. :-(
We must distinguish between good, fast INTERNET connections and your internal (in-house) wiring and system speeds.
You've got a pretty good connection to get a 7 minute track in just seconds. I don't think my outside connection is that fast.

I think the point is, he's having a much better overall experience with his new ISP regardless of speed. No dropouts, delays, stutters, etc. One can have incredible speed but other factors can affect performance. My ISP has increased my speed over the years from about 30Mbs, to 80Mbs, 105Mbs, and now about 180Mbs. Dropouts, delays, sluggishness during peak times, etc., have also improved over the years. And I actually take advantage of those higher speeds for large software downloads for work.In the field of computer networking and other packet-switched telecommunication networks, the traffic engineering term [QoS] refers to resource reservation control mechanisms rather than the achieved service quality. Quality of service is the ability to provide different priority to different applications, users, or data flows, or to guarantee a certain level of performance to a data flow. For example, a required bit rate, delay, jitter, packet dropping probability and/or bit error rate may be guaranteed. Quality of service guarantees are important if the network capacity is insufficient, especially for real-time streaming multimedia applications such as voice over IP, online games and IP-TV, since these often require fixed bit rate and are delay sensitive, and in networks where the capacity is a limited resource, for example in cellular data communication.

And when you start out slow there is not much room for glitches.
