It is all peak-period problems, not average bandwidth. Invariably we get downgraded to barely viewable overcompressed SD on Sunday nights. A local smart cache of the next 5 episodes of the 5-6 different shows we watch most often would likely eliminate 90% of the network usage. If enough people have them it would make it a non-issue for the telco.
It is important for it to be a network-based cache though, so it is device independent.
