Nice, but doesn't help at all to see a broad picture of the market, on a longer term. 

Could be "Yeah, I have 50 mbps!", but if it doesn't say anything about the permanent (average) speed, or the speed of the general population. And this kind of statistics is very important for a project like this.

Google has a YouTube ISP Speed project in the US, and not all ISPs are apparently able to guarantee a 720p YT video. In that case, good luck for a game. 

I meant individually, but I see what you mean, that ISP speed index site is quite telling.

Average Joe will be getting 720p30 if he's lucky.

Exactly. If I understand correctly, each ISP has its own limited bandwidth with the servers. So at first, when the number of users will be low, there shouldn't be any issue. But if it becomes more popular, it might become unplayable on some ISPs.

I know that some French ISPs even announced a partnership with Netflix to have specific dedicated bandwidth, and they're still below 4Mbps for each user...
