Same here. I feel bad for my family who was using my account (and has less disposable income) but they have access to our Plex now so win/win.

Don’t you need a lot of upload speed for Plex etc to work?

If you have fiber, 99% of the time your speeds are symmetric.

Yea sadly I have fiber at 100down and 10 up. And from what I can tell, I need faster upload to stream anything to anyone. And yes, this is the best option available.

Depends. For example a large ISP will have generous up/down speeds within the same city for customers on its own infrastructure so maybe that helps. You can of course transcode to less quality.
