About constant 20mbps should be fine. Considering that you always get a bit less than the advertised speeds I would get at least a 30 mbps plan from an ISP.

i would say, about 10 mbps is enough for one device with no buffering, so 3 devices at least 30 mpbs but look at higher speeds prices, if its really low between 30 and lets say 50, get 50 in case in the future there would be more devices.

Update: I got a 15mbps plan because 30 wasnt available in my area and it is enough for iptv streaming at 1080p/720p and watching 480p yt videos across 3 other devices(youtube's highest video quality bc of covid19) while still having 4-5mbps left, thats what ookla speed test is showing. Just pointing out if this answer comes up in a google search.

480p is not "youtube's highest" it's jsut the default that you can switch back to anything else.
