Hi

I'm looking for an account purely to stream video international from plex, it would be from one device, 2 max at a time so 10mbit should be just fine. I know various accounts when reaching thresholds have different protocols limited, maybe the whole account throttled, all depends.

Would one of the ISP's home accounts work for this or is it better buying that value in capped data, I am not sure.
 
Are you streaming from the server on this line or downloading from an international server?

If you're hosting the server you need a very decent upload speed. I used Afrihost 10mbps business uncapped with a 1mbps upload and it could just handle some animated shows.

These days I use Vox fatpipe Fibre 50/50 and its working beautifully

Both accounts I mentioned here are uncapped & unshaped

10 meg Afrihost should be absolutely fine then, even 4 meg as long as it's their "business uncapped" package

I am on the following: @crystalpremium.co.za and all I can say is that the premium pumps, I have three TV's streaming plus all the cell phones and a couple of desktops.

I have never been disappointed!
