For HDTV the suppliers of these devices seem to recommend 5Mbits/sec and about 2Mbits for standard definition.
I can watch HD on Youtube on my smart TV and I have a download speed of 9Mbits so that seems to fit.
If you are lucky enough to have UHD TV that needs about 25Mbits
Watch out if you have a cap on the total amount you can download in a month - you can exceed that cap as TV uses a lot of data.

"17 something or others" refers to the maximum speed you could wring out of the system. The way they word it is... "Up to 17 something or others". For you to actually achieve that speed you would have to live inside the telephone exchange. In reality the further from the Exchange you live, the less you get. If you go for Fibre optic broadband, the drop off in performance is less noticeable as you only see degradation from the cabinet. So, the further from the Cabinet you live, the less you get.
