I have 250/100 mbit/s, my brother has 1000/1000 mbit/s. Both are included in our rent.

I don't like Stadia for other reasons but saying that consumer access is not capable because you live in a country that sucks on that part is not really a good argument.

Do you think modern cars are a bad idea as well because there are parts in Africa that doesn't have good roads?

Mmmh for stadia to work well, the bandwidth necessary is pretty high.

Unless you have fiber, it's not worth it. Some DSL internet still suck today.

You don't need fiber. Feels as good as local play on my 220 Mbps down/15 Mbps up internet.

you have that without fiber? without DSL?

anyway most users don't have such a high bandwidth...

Megabits, not bytes, if that's what you are thinking. That's about 27 MBps down and a lousy 1.9 MBps up. Decent, but its not even close to fiber.

And I don't think its particularly greats bandwidth... just about every medium/major metro in US is going to have comparable internet or better.

I know. 1.9MB/s is still a very good DSL. Many users don't have such good bandwidth.

What I am saying in northen europe where I live, it's uncommon not to have access to fiber.
