No, unfortunately, I only get 9Mbs to the house total and I can happily stream hi-def Netflix while downloading anything from Steam. With or without anything else on the LAN, the Steam downloads are fairly consistent, and they hover in the 1 Mbs range. It was more like a day and a half plus for GTA V!
(I'm approximately 5400' from the DSLAM. I could get 12 or 20(bonded) but I don't want to spend the money. The funny part is I actually have a DSLAM practically in my back yard! But, no, I have to be fed from over a mile away!
