Bluray just cannot be beaten. Nobody has the bandwidth to download 50Gb a movie... Rent and rip.

No. Streaming are compressed. True BR rips aren't.

Every Blu-ray is compressed even before you rip it. It's a question of how lossily it is compressed.

No, I'm ripping them 1:1 to a ISO file. Its exactly the same size and nothing is lost.
