I have created multiple new nodes in the past 6 months.  Each time, the network was not the bottleneck.  It was CPU and disk (LevelDB in particular).  So even if you download the bootstrap with multiple parallel streams, your node will still need to validate each block and you will have the CPU and disk constraints.
