    17mb is loads for everything barring 4K. I only have about 8mb and I can stream HD Netflix, YouTube, iTunes movies, etc no issue whatsoever. It's only when I try some 4K YouTube videos that I get buffering.
    I use the built in WiFi in the TV too and it's fine. So long as your router is not miles away from the TV, wifi should be fine.

    Your upload speed is crap, like mine, but that doesn't matter, it's downloading you'll be doing.
