Have you noticed the everyone cites the government's definition of
"broadband" as a minimum of 25/3 when in fact the term used was "advanced
broadband"?
How about we call gigabit "ludicrous speed".
And 10/1 shall be "chopped liver".

No more Pesky Downloading games to your console, use the 'Netflix' of
Video Games...
"To use GeForce NOW, you�ll need to meet a number of requirements.
First, you�ll need an NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV, SHIELD portable, or
SHIELD tablet (with the latest software updates installed) and a
SHIELD-approved 5GHz router. The latest SHIELD Hub app from the Google
Play store must be installed. And your broadband connection must offer
download speeds of at least 12Mb/s. 20Mb/s is recommended for 720p / 60
FPS quality, and 50Mb/s is recommended for 1080p / 60 FPS. You must also
have a 60ms or lower ping time to a GeForce NOW server, though 40ms or
lower is recommended. "
I like how they refer to that as 'Broadband Connection' Sounds more like
DIA to me, since it's continuous sustained traffic. I'm guessing
buffering or caching video games doesn't work well.
