I'm thinking of buying an Arlo system (Arlo or Arlo Pro) and I'm wondering about the bandwith the camera takes and whether it will impact the internet service for other devices (e.g. streaming on TV). (I have a very good service). Thanks for your advice.

Your exact upload speed as noted by speedtest.net would be useful info.  However, the uploads are typically short and likely will have no impact on streaming, etc.  I've had issues when uploading large data to other sites like Flickr so I changed my QoS settings in my router but I never had an issue with just Arlo.  Usually very little data is uploaded when streaming, surfing the web, etc. - it's mostly download.
