Depends on what you mean by "streaming the net".
Netflix? Depends on what quality you find acceptable.

HD = 5Mbps each.

I have a an average 5-10Mb/s speed and it does me fine. If you split this around you should provide for 20-40 people, it depends on what each user is doing; if someone users are just browsing the web while others download and play games while watching youtube videos you will get quite an uneven connection.
I think you could do 50 at a stretch though. Not all houses or users will be using the internet at the same time.

Thanks guys. It will be for a mix of business and possible houses. So business usage during the day and night time usage for the homes.
Would this be legal?? It seems just like a large wifi or WAN.

"Legal" depends completely on what agreement you have with the ISP.
But know that out of a potential 50 users, 3 of them will be mass torrenting idiots, sucking up all the bandwidth 24/7.
How are you getting this bandwidth to 50+ different users?

I'll have to check that out.
And for the users, I'd try and make sure they are responsible with usage. Is there a way to track/manage usage?
Edit: When I mean manage, I mean to let them know they are going to lose service if they keep using it and it is slowing others down.
What exactly does torrenting mean?
And for the users I was hoping on using something like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i93_nLcN7U

What country is this in?
Torrenting - peer to peer file sharing. Commonly, but not exclusively, used to distribute and 'share' multimedia files. Movies, music, TV shows.
It can be very bandwidth intensive.
There are many, many ways to manage and track who is doing what. I have a Linux box here at home that does this on a small scale.
But you should have that already in the plan long before you start down this path.

Ahh. Just read an article on peer to peer or how the internet providers use each others lines and what not.
This is just some brainstorming.
I wanna set up a p2p from intown to my house 2 miles out. current provider gives us 2mb/s for $95 and am looking at getting 200mb/s for $105.
Also I know I will never use that much and would like to get some of my neighbors in on the little project to cut cost. Rural North Dakota, I don't believe too many people would be torrenting but I could be wrong.
As far as legal issues, if we could start a non-profit called "Rural Connections" maybe we could bypass the companies policy due to lack of effort on their part to get high speed out here. I mean if we are the ones that are going through the trouble of setting up the connections over long distances wouldn't they almost have to provide us with access if we were using data responsible?

Internet access is not a 'right'.
In the US, a standard connection is for one residence. This is according to the Terms of Service you agree to with your ISP. If you want to do other, that would be a business connection.
You can't just 'share' your home connection between all your neighbors.
But....For that many people, a business connection would not be that much more per person/family.
So...you are creating a small business to distribute internet access among several households. Don't 'bypass' the ISP regs...work with them.
And yes, one or more teenagers will be bandwidth suckers. That is what teenagers do.
Additionally, if it all flows through your connection, any investigation into illegal operations will start with you.
Finally, WiFi over a 2 mile link from town will no longer be 'broadband' once you then deliver it to your customers.

Sounds good regarding working with them.
What does the last part indicate?
"Finally, WiFi over a 2 mile link from town will no longer be 'broadband' once you then deliver it to your customers."
Is that with regards to illegal operations?

Means it will be a very small pipe when sent over that distance. Unless you spend quite a few $$ in a good long distance wireless set up.
Can you establish a WiFi connection over a 2 mile span? Yes.
Can you establish a stable 200Mbps connection over a 2 mile span? $$$
