And you only need around 5MB/s Download to Stream games in 1080p in 60FPS
Yeah Sony is so lame to buy Gaikai and invest in a Future of Streaming....100MB/s download is in every 1st World Country standard and i can't wait till this nice baby is spreading over the world.

I'm a bit confused.  Are you saying 100MB/s is standard in every 1st World Country right NOW?  Because the 1MB/s top speed available in my area would like to have a word with you.

He doesn't even know what he's talking about.

100MB/s would be more than 700Mbit/s (or Mbps in this article)

1MB/s is 8Mbit/s which is already a very decent speed. If you mean 1Mbit/s then you have indeed very slow internet, but even that is common in first world countries if you live in the countryside.

Oops, yeah, I wasn't thinking and just went with the metric he was using.  I meant 1Mbps, not 1MBps.  That's the fastest broadband offered in my area, which is the countryside about 25 miles from a medium-size city, right on the East Coast.

The funny thing is, I actually have 3Mbps because I jumped onboard the moment DSL was offered here, which they have since scaled back to 1Mbps.  I guess I'm kind of grandfathered in as long as I don't cancel.  No cable broadband because we don't have enough houses per mile to meet their standard.  I have friends who can't even get DSL.

If where I live is any indication, then much of the United States doesn't have very fast internet.
