Eh, stuff downloads faster. Besides that, not sure it matters much.
For what it's worth, though, 5 Mbps isn't enough for a full 1080p stream, let alone two of them. You might be able to get a couple 720p streams to be mostly stable. The difference between 20 and 1000 isn't huge for most people, but the difference between 5 and 20 could be (especially if you start streaming in 4K, which takes 13 or so for one stream).
