wtf does that have to do with gaming populations, gaming populations internet speeds and downloading a halo content package? Internet speeds are higher outside UK and US in any event.

It's directly related to your request for more breakdowns of internet speeds, and comparing your 74mbps and the avg UK speeds to the rest of the world. Apparently, it was ok for you to ask a similar question of Tamron, but not ok for someone else to ask you a similar question (even though I did the research, and answered it for you).
And, hate to break it to you, but there are plenty of gamer's who don't have an internet connection. So, the speeds point is moot, considering you're ignoring those who simply don't have the option. And no, it's not a matter of cost, some areas are simply outside coverage zones. There are still areas in Vermont, that don't have broadband (Even though where I am, I'm way way above the US Avg). Which is something all games companies (not just Microsoft, or Sony, or Nintendo...all) should be sympathetic too. Or do you think it's a good idea for companies to just ignore a portion of their fans who won't have that option?
Just because folks voice a concern about something, doesn't mean it's an attack on it. It's simply a suggestion to have an alternative for those who can't afford, or don't have an internet connection, or have a cap after which they're throttled, of which there are many.
It's a suggestion, to have an alternative, not a demand, not bashing the collection, just a suggestion. That is all.

The average download pipeline for all EU countries is 26.6mbps
The average download pipeline for all OECD countries is 26.0mbps
The average download pipeline for all APEC countries is 22.8mbps
